Kat with a K

It's starting.

As we all know, it's opening day for major league baseball. And, of course, the first game for the Red Sox is in New York, against the Yankees. (Why? Is it just for the drama? Do they do that deliberately?) This means...

that a large percentage of the population of the greater Boston area will become pathologically incapable of speaking about anything else

that we will get to hear, again and again and again, the blow-by-blow of last season, in which the Red Sox apparently did something comparable to defeating Hitler

that Red Sox t-shirts and caps will somehow suddenly qualify as "business casual" dress for work

that I will go back to being awestruck and amazed as I try really hard to believe that yes, people really do care that much

and that I resume the precarious activity of trying to like both the Yankees and the Red Sox. Wish me luck.
