So how exactly does a diehard fan spend the baseball equivalent of Christmas morning?
12:00 AM - It is officially Opening Day. I am pacing the floor watching the clock. It is only 11 hours and 10 minutes until first pitch is scheduled to be thrown at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati Ohio.
12:20 AM - Check US Airways to see if there are any flights from Phoenix Arizona to Cincinnati Ohio that would arrive before first pitch is thrown.
12:40 AM - Go upstairs and wake Trina up to verify that she was serious when she said I could not go to Opening Day in Cincinnati Ohio.
12:55 AM - Go downstairs with my pillow and a Diamondbacks blanket after being banished from the bedroom for waking Trina up to ask her again if I could go to Opening Day in Cincinnati Ohio.
1:30 AM - Go to Expedia.com to see if there are any last minute deals on airfare and lodging in Cincinnati Ohio
1:55 AM - Briefly considered going upstairs to tell Trina I might have found a good deal on airfare to Ohio but then decided that might be bad since I am not sure where I would be banished after the couch.
