What a day to enjoy cricket, especially the first day of the World Cup. A warm sunny day, where you could wear your shorts, tank tops, flip flops, and whatever that suits your fancy. The nice warm breeze gave the air a most exhilarating welcome for the mind and soul. And to top it all off, the hosts the West Indies, played an enjoyable match giving Pakistan something to think about for the rest of the World Cup.
Yes, I could be the 'King of Wishful Thinking', wishing I was in the Caribbean right now witnessing this month long event, but today I didn't have to. The weather I was describing above was over here in Cincinnati. Yes, a temperature of about 80 degrees Fahrenheit, blue skies, and a bright shiny sun made me break out my shorts, and flip flops and tee-shirt after coming back home from work. I could dream I was in Jamaica relishing the West Indian victory. Again, I said DREAM and I am not comparing Cincy to the Caribbean (as some thought I was comparing Cali to NJ in my last post; it seems controversy surrounds me at times).
But what does bother me is that it is unseasonably warm, especially this time of the year. I don't quite remember the last time we had such high temps so early in Cincy. Global warming could be the reason, while the naysayers will say it's just an irregular day. Whatever the case it was a beautiful day, but I hope this isn't a precursor to what global warming has in store for us. We need all of our four seasons, don't we???

The NCAA Tourney is kicking off and you are talking about cricket? All I can say is, "Go Australia!"
If the Bearcats aren't in it, I ain't watching!
