Baseball season is just around the corner. And this is the year the Red Sox will finally win the World Series!
No dreams are fruitless at this point, dammit.
I'm watching the Red Sox tonight, playing Boston College. Goofy game with a dozen guys playing who won't be on the Sox roster when the season begins. Game just ended with the Sox winning, 9-6.
All through the game there were folks climbing down the stairs behind home plate. They had their cell phones glued to their faces and the other hand waving to their people back on the other end of the connection. I find this particular narcissism extremely annoying. But it reminds of a story my otherwise levelheaded brother told me this weekend.
The last time he was in Atlanta he was put up in the Omni Hotel at CNN Center. CNN has a talk show down in the foyer and people passing through can position themselves to appear on camera. He called home to Rhode Island to tell his son to turn on CNN. My brother, CNN background geek.
