Red Sox Nation

Ouch Ouch and Double Ouch. 

My reward for staying up until 5:30 am to watch the Yankees/Red Sox seventh game was another lesson in Red Sox fidelity.  Peter Gammons once said it best, " they killed our fathers and grandfathers before us and now the bastards are coming for us."  From my vantage point 3000 miles away, I can see much finger pointing in Boston.  I wonder what it looks like from space?

My first week in Scotland has proceeded swimmingly.  A surprise visit from Andy Adelson and David Laliberte highlighted the week (in addition to a highly profitable poker game).  Somewhat amazingly, I haven't seen a drop of rain in 7 days!  I think Scottish weather is amazing and reports of great rains are used to keep tourists away.  I could be wrong.

My second week here will be much quieter than week one.  My intention is to stay current with this journal and to keep you up to date.  Thus far, no Prince William sightings for me, although Amanda did see him walking down North Street on Wednesday.  More stories forthcoming.  I miss you all.

For now, I remain,
