Today, I'm immersed in baseball. Literally. I have a softball game at noon, and then tonight the Cardinals are taking on the Dodgers and I plan to wear red and cheer for the visitors. I always cheer for the visitors at Dodgers Stadium. Angelenos come from everywhere else, mostly, and I come from the Bay Area. I have my loyalties still.
It's a beautiful, bright sunny morning, and I'm gonna eat a bagel, make some tea, and watch The Batman before finding a clean sports bra.
It's a beautiful day, and no one's forgotten why it's the most horrible of anniversaries. We'll mourn tonight, I'm sure, a stadium full of people with hats off, singing the national anthem and looking up at the sky, the flag waving yet.
