| Indignant Robin This Morning |
I looked out the front door this
morning and saw some very confused robins. They were hopping around the
driveway obviously looking for nest building material. They had to use the
driveway because snow still covers the entire yard. Even last year’s humongous
snow pack had pretty much fled by this time. I have it on good authority the
snow will be vanquished by the end of the week and we can get back to the whole
“spring” thing.

| Sox Are Back! |
A certain sign of spring manifested itself
yesterday when the 2016 edition of the Boston Red Sox took to the frigid
Cleveland field to win going away. I think my generation will be the last New Englanders
who remember when the Sox defined the sports scene around here and yesterday
would have been akin to a regional holiday. The Sox’ success has led to
complacency and the emergence of the Patriots as the dominant franchise has
redefined the environment.
Fortunately I’m still a member of that
generation so I’m predictably juiced about the return of the BoSox. This could
be a very entertaining team if they keep fat boy on the bench and play truly
hungry players. David Price looks like a bargain as the highest paid pitcher in
baseball and Mookie Betts, who homered yesterday, could be their next
superstar. I know it’s only one game, but as a true Red Sox fan, I’m now convinced
they’ll win the World Series this year.
I explored another facet of the
internet yesterday as I was dragooned into securing Broadway tickets and hotel
reservations for a musquetera reunion in New York City next week. Apparently a
full week’s worth of exposure to me required a vacation for my beleaguered
wife. In reality her friends have missed her almost as much as I did and want
to get together. They’ll be seeing the Gloria Estefan based musical, On Your
Feet. I think it’s a safe bet to predict there’ll be some dancing in the aisles
in a certain section of the audience.
