Thank You Jacoby Ellsbury!

Woohoo!

Go Red Sox! Bob Ryan put it best - 2004 was an exorcism, 2007 was an exclamation point. Never in my life did I ever think I would see the Red Sox lead the AL East for basically the whole season then go on to win the World Series in a sweep. Just amazing stuff. And I don't think they are done either - they might have the best young talent in the majors. What a great time to be a Boston sports fan.

My only regret is that I didn't buy any furniture from Jordan's last Spring.

Widespread Panic

Does anyone else find it weird that Fox is sometimes using a short clip from "Ain't Life Grand" by Widespread Panic when they cut to commercial during the ALCS? It's a pretty good song, but kind of a random choice.

Oh yeah, go Sox!

Only in New Hampshire...

We went to Riverview Farm in Plainfield this morning to pick up some pumpkins. We got some good ones - don't worry, we will have the annual Jack-o-lantern post as soon as they are carved. But Ann overheard a very funny conversation:

Mom (to worker): I want you to know your cat just scratched my daughter!

Worker: Well, your kid shouldn't have touched the cat. We don't call him Mr. Bitey for nothing!

Mom: (walks off in a huff)
