What It’s Like to Be a Mets Fan in 2025
A $340 million roster, the best record in baseball on June 12, and then 88 games of collapse. Mets fandom in 2025 is equal parts frustration and absurd comedy — we should not be losing, yet we are.

The Joy of the First Beautiful Day of Spring
After months of short, gray days bundled in layer upon layer, today feels like a revelation. The sun is shining. Temperatures are stretching toward 70 degrees. My neighborhood is buzzing—walkers are out in force, their steps lighter, spirits higher, and smiles wider. Even the birds have launched into a cheerful chorus, a rhythmic call-and-response that seems to shout joyfully, "We made it!"
We gained an extra hour of daylight this weekend, and I can already feel the transformation. Spring has arrived in the DMV, and it feels fantastic!
If you've ever doubted Seasonal Affective Disorder, just think about how amazing that first real day of spring makes you feel. It's like a genuine rebirth—winter’s heaviness lifting from your shoulders, your mind feeling clearer, your feet barely touching the ground. People who were hidden behind scarves and hurried steps are now sharing smiles and friendly greetings. It's a silent acknowledgment: We've survived another winter, and now it's our turn to shine.
And of course, nothing says spring is here like baseball back on TV. Watching the Mets take on the Cardinals as they warm up for Opening Day feels like the official stamp of approval. Baseball—the soundtrack of brighter, warmer days—has returned.
Is there anything better than this first beautiful day after winter finally waves goodbye? I don’t think so. So open those windows wide, breathe deep, and take an extra-long walk just because you can.
Welcome back, spring. We’ve missed you!

Echoes in the Wind
A walk through the woods brought me face to face with an owl, the call of a flicker, the sweet scent of pawpaws, and the rhythm of hollow logs. Sometimes the forest carries you, and all you can do is listen.
