Daily doctor check-in with my dad at the hospital:

Doctor: What year is it?
Dad: 2025.
Doctor: Who’s the president?
Dad: Ugh, I don’t want to talk about it.
The doctor laughs.
Doctor: Okay, that’s an acceptable response.

On the eve of Rockies' home opener, travel back with us to the time Dinger was unveiled as the team's mascot On April 16, 1994, before the Colorado Rockies took on the MontrΓ©al Expos at Mile High Stadium, Dinger was born – or rather, hatched – in front of adults and children alike.

I keep Dinger’s birthday on my calendar.
