Quick Thoughts
Random items in no particular order:
Big sports weekend. Dad called Friday morning. "What are you doing Sunday night?" "Working till 7, why?" "Want to go to the Patriots game?" Um. Yeah. The fact that the seats were in the second row just sweetened the deal. The Pats are flawed - oh boy - but they eked out a win, and I had a great time. Gillette Stadium is just as amazing as everyone's said it is. I've got lots of pictures up.
More pictures, and more sports adventures with Dad: His book on the Red Sox has helped raise money for the Massachusetts ALS Society, who held a reception on Saturday with Curt Schilling (he's very involved with the cause). We went and I got some more pics.
Still trying to figure out who to blame for the Theo Epstein debacle. This is going to be harder to untangle than the Bay of Pigs, but my gut reaction is that Larry Lucchino pulled the trigger -- almost literally -- on Theo, and used noted frontrunner Dan Shaughnessy to write a kiss-of-death column. Hey, Dan, why don't you mention that Theo is young a few more times? But at least you're still in good with the ownership. Rooting for this team doesn't get any easier.
Halloween costume: All I did was dress up in a coat and tie and pin an American flag pin to my lapel. And everyone correctly asked, "Are you dressed as a Republican?" Heh. Even though Boston.com lists me as a Media and Politics blogger, I haven't had it in me to write too much about current events. When's 2008?
Why do we still do this clock-changing crap? Is there anyone who doesn't get a little homicidal when it's fully dark at 5:30 PM?
Never mind. Less than 48 hours till the Celtics season starts.
