Play ball!

The silliest things make me laugh today. Street musicians are a quirky feature of the our dear Metro, from the African-American electric guitarist singing James Taylor to the bagpipe player at Union Station. There used to be a string quartet that played at Crystal City I enjoyed listening to.

Two violinists were playing at the Metro Center stop when I left for home, playing some vaguely familiar classical music. On my way down the escalator, they started up another classic tune. It was perfect for today's pomp and circumstance -- "Take me Out to the Ball Game."

Singing along, I realized that for the first time in my life, I could actually "root root root for the home team". They even won, beating the Diamondbacks!

Now if everything worked out so well...
