My brother gave my dad a perfect Christmas Present. He went with all his sons went to the Rockies Opening Day game. Dad loves baseball, and we all enjoy a good day at the park. Coors field is a great stadium. It captures a kind of old school steel girder and brick style that makes it feel... like a real ballpark. It feels right to get a hot dog, and settle down in the cool spring air for 3 hours of baseball.
As they were singing the national anthem, I had a thought about our flag. Putting aside all symbolism, at least as much as possible, I think our flag is a great piece of pop art. Just compared to other flags, not as symbols of their nations, but as a thing to hang on a pole, our flag is in at least the top third of flags in the world. Just sayin'.
