And it's not because I have two shows and a wood-firing. It's because the Orioles are in the playoffs! Unlike two years ago when landing the second wild-card spot was a breakthrough accomplishment, this year they won the AL East by a wide mile. Expectations are high. I will not try to predict how far they will get. But the farther they get, the more difficult it will be for me to handle. I'm basing this on 2001 and 2002 when the Maryland Terrapins made the Final Four. I couldn't sleep. My heart pounded and I got light-headed. My hands and feet were tingling. My blood pressure was either really high or really low, I'm not sure. It's going to be the same this month.
I will make sure that I am next to a TV or radio for every game. I apologize in advance to everyone who I blow off this month. I might be in a state of high-stress, or elation, or crying my eyes out. And thank goodness this Saturday, October 4, is an off day for the Os, because I have my first fall show! (Art on the Avenue in Alexandria, VA)
Let's go Os!
