Paradise Cancelled

Alright, maybe it isn't what everyone woud think is paradise, but it does come close when the weather is nice and the boat is comfortable. The last time I was there I was cold. That was in October of 2003.

We promised that we would return this year, we missed it last year. But today I cancelled. I have lost my appetite for chilly days and damp nights on a sailboat in late October. And mornings like this with my coffee are now remembered more like this. This was me on the last morning we were there. In 2003.

The promise of this sort of warmth is only a memory. Like this picture that we snapped sailing in, maybe back in 1999.

The Fat Lady Has Done Her Thing

Yesterday, somewhere around supper time I knew that the season was over. The Fat Lady had just about finished her song and the radio guy was done saying "there's a drive....way back way back. Manny had done his thing twice, Ortiz had hit one out and someone had to get on to to get to him one more time. Didn't happen. Wait till next year.

Sounds familiar and somehow, proper.

Amazingly Enough, I have not much to say about...

... yesterdays game other than to point out the fact that the game was played by linking this story which talks about the Red Sox game yesterday. In fact, I agree with most of it's calm analysis . And that is that.

I will watch today's game since I can't remember a time when I did not either watch or listen to the last game of the season regardless of the standings.

I think that I sort of hope that it is the final game of the season. I am getting sick of the wild card thing.
