Opening Day is an unofficial spring holiday in Cincinnati. Unfortunately, I was unable to get tickets, so while the rest of the city is out enjoying the sunshine, cold beer and a sold-out ballgame, I am toiling away indoors.I think my company feels badly that we can't join the revelers outside, so, once again, they have sponsored an 'opening day party'—basically bringing in a hot dog machine (lovingly known as the dogaroo), popcorn popper, industrial nacho cheese melter, peanuts and other snacks. I'd like to believe it's their way of saying, "We're sorry you're stuck inside, but at least you can gorge on unhealthy stadium-like food."
I'm going to continue pouting over my chocolate and peanut-topped ice cream cone treat.
