They were trumped by a dose of real life and errands. Add to that a great book (The case for Christ). My discovery of the very fun variant of Civilization Beyond the Sword (Defense), a few family squabbles and posting just takes last place.

I didn’t even get to see Ellsbury steal home against the Yanks.

BTW impressive as that is do you know that a Young Rod Carew stole home seven times in one season?

Is there anything better than that?

Hey lets have some fun.

Who wants to make book when the first reporter will ask the Miss USA winner her opinion on Gay Marriage?

Who wants to bet that the pageant organizers will forbid her to answer?

Who wants to be that if they don’t forbid her to answer she refuses comment on it?

Like I said 1919 Cincinnati Reds.

Update: Hey I never put 2+2 together. Moran Square, Pat Moran, Moran square diner. He is from my home town. The manager of the 1919 Reds. How could I ever miss that?

Patriots Day Today

Here in Massachusetts today is the Patriots day holiday. When we remember the ordinary people who defeated the greatest infantry in the world and started on the path to the creation of this great nation.

For events we have the Boston Marathon, An early 11 a.m. Red Sox game and of course the re-enactments at Lexington and Concord.

I’ve actually never been as they are usually swamped and the parking is impossible but I think maybe next year or the year after I should go. It would be a shame to live a whole life around here and never see it in person.

With Maine we are the only states that celebrate the day.
