This is great:

Unbe-fucking-lievable!

Whoohoo! (Sorry, I had to take down the mp3).

2 more!

Some random reading in honor of the rainout of game 3.

Salon asks: would you rather see the Red Sox win the world series or John Kerry win the election? (Inside my head right now: "How bad, really, could 4 more years of Bush be?")

It's official: being a Red Sox fan is bad for your mental and physical health. Be sure to click on the graphic!

Also, the ugly truth about the curse.

I went for a short hike yesterday up Gile Mountain (more of a hill really) in Norwich, VT, mostly to check out foliage but also to test out a hydration pack I picked up at the LL Bean outlet. There is a 75 foot fire tower at the top - check out some pictures of the absolute peak foliage.

Afterwards I went to Dan & Whit's General Store and purchased the following items: a beer, the New York Times, a replacement valve for a toilet, a mug and some ibuprofen. The motto of Dan and Whit's is "If we don't have it, you don't need it." It's definitely true.
