From There to Here

I’m busy today.
Very busy.
Maybe come back later?
At the moment, I’m busy with…

This might be the best game ever. And that’s not an overstatement.

I know it’s been a while since I last updated.
The Canada trip at the beginning of the month made things crazy, as did me just coming back and going to three more baseball games in five days. Then there were a couple Celtics playoff games, a deadline at work for April’s newspaper and more craziness. […]

I’m about to head to Fenway for the Sox game, but the weather might not cooperate.
Class was class, but now the real fun begins. I honestly don’t mind my classes at Suffolk. There’s some cool people in the class with me, the topics are interesting and helpful and the professors are pretty good. I’m just […]

My work week is pretty nice this week. With my vacation days on Monday and Tuesday and school on Friday, I’m not really making much of an appearance at work this week, except for the 16 hours I’ll be there on yesterday and today.
I’m definitely looking forward to this weekend when I go to my […]

So our two-state, two-country baseball odyssey behind us, Mike and I attended Opening Day at Fenway Park yesterday for the presentation of the rings and an Opening Day matchup against the 0-6 Detroit Tigers. Mike and I entered the game at 0-3 ourselves, watching the sweep of the Sox in Toronto over the weekend.
We joined […]

He unjuiced them pretty quick with a grand slam served up by Manny Delcarmen and basically charged to Josh Beckett. And the Sox got […]

So Saturday didn’t go any better than Friday.
In fact, it was much, much worse. This one was basically over by the end of the sixth inning. Buchholz didn’t pitch great, and gave up four runs (three earned). But the real damage was done by Snyder and Corey, who gave up six runs in just […]

Woke up yesterday morning and checked out of Turning Stone about 10:30. Made our way quickly back onto the highway and hit the road shortly before 11 a.m. With the prospect of the first rest stop having both a Dunkin’ Donuts for me and a Sbarro (at 10:45 a.m.) for Mike, we decided to stop. […]

So Mike and I were planning on driving to Toronto early this morning, checking into our hotel some time around 4 p.m. after leaving our apartment at 6 a.m. But that didn’t happen. We were hanging around in my room around 6:30 p.m. last night, and both of us wanted to play poker.
So we decided […]
