Another double shift, evening into night. Why yes, I am nuts, thanks for asking. But, I get to take tomorrow off, and then I don't go back to work until next Tuesday. Plus, double time-and-a-half is really, really hard to turn down.

All is good, even if I will be bloody exhausted in the morning.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Fenway Park

Whee and hooray!

Fenway Park not only has the Pesky Pole, but now we have the Fisk Pole as well!

How cool to see Pudge and the Greatest Baseball Game Ever Played _TM honoured in such a wonderful (and permanent!) way. *proudly shows off Pudge icon*

I found this passage in Isaac's 2005 yearbook.

Now that lilacs are in bloom
She has a bowl of lilacs in her room
And twists one in her fingers while she talks.
"Ah, my friend, you do not know, you do not know
What life is, you should hold it in your hands";
(Slowly twisting the lilac stalks)
"You let it flow from you, you let it flow,
And youth is cruel, and has no remorse
And smiles at situations which it cannot see."
I smile, of course,
And go on drinking tea.
"Yet with these April sunsets, that somehow recall
My buried life, and Paris in the Spring,
I feel immeasurably at peace, and find the world
To be wonderful and youthful, after all."

--T.S. Eliot, from "Portrait of a Lady"

Mnph. Going to bed now.
