Here are a couple from the grillout at my house for Opening Day on Monday. Opening Day for baseball is a HUGE deal in Cincinnati. We have parades, work pretty much stops. It's awesome! :D

Nope, they're bratwurst, metwurst, hotdogs, turkey-dogs and Nathan's All-Beef Weiners. :P

To the right is a box of fantastic 2lb hamburgers!

Haha, yeah. In Cincinnati Opening Day is a big deal. Parades and everything. Hell, half the city arranges to take off work. Ticket prices for the opening day game in Cincinnati usually at least quintuple for the one game.

We used to be assured of playing the first official season game every year. But in the late nineties that butthead Bud Selig decided it wasn't a tradition worth holding onto and we no longer play the first game every year. At least we;re given the honey of always playing at home opening day.

The Reds were the first professional baseball team in history and remained so for quite a while. Having formed shortly before the American Civil War, the Reds stayed together but didn't play during the war. Amazingly they only lost a couple of the players as casualties to the war and helf virtually the same team when the war was over.

The Reds have a lot of history and have provided much of the groundwork for professional baseball and for the sport we enjoy today. We're very proud of that in Cincinnati.

TRIVIA: The Reds were originally founded in Portsmouth, Ohio about two hours East up the Ohio river from Cincinnati.

I promised some people I'd post my pics up from my trip to Disneyland with my cute Japanese cousins. Sorry it took so long.

Looks like a blast. Mari's cute too. Tell her I said so, so she can freak that some American guy she'll never meet thought she was cute. ;)

Thanks so much for posting your fun pics MissMonika! You, your brother and your Japanese cousins are cute! Your pics make me wanna go visit Disneyland or Disney World again. :mrgreen:

Very cool pics, Danji and MissMon!!

Disney is always a fun time, I was at the Kingdom a week or so ago! :woot:

I always thought Miss Monika was a blonde :crazy: I think it goes back to when you had that avatar that said, "You bite big time" :hehe:

Funny how you associate people with their avatars, huh? When I first came here, MissMonika had an anime avatar.... I was surprised when I found out she wasn't anything like her av :) Strange huh. And Wyn-chan had an av of Ishihara Satomi, so I pictured her as Satomi-chan :)

She'll love that. She has a thing for American guys. During the parade, she kept pointing to a few guys saying, "kakkoi!"

LOL. All my friends tell me I'm blonde at heart because I'm very ditsy, so you're partially right in your assumption minus the hair color. Hehehe :hehe:
