Fenway's furriest fan?



Yes this is a Pomeranian wearing a Red Sox jersey with a Red Sox collar and leash. The degree of fanaticism is a force to be reckoned with in this town. I wouldn't be caught dead in a Yankees cap anyway, but up here you better be ready to defend yourself physically if you dare declare the Bronx bombers as your boys. I know Auburn and Alabama have one of the fiercest rivalries in college football, but the hatred between these teams is like nothing I have ever seen before. Tonight in the subway tunnel there were plenty of beer soaked fans that wanted nothing more than swing fists with a Yankee fan or anyone else that got in their way. Observing the mayhem as an outsider was definitely interesting and I am sure glad that K and I accidentally wore red (my backpack, her shirt) to not draw too much attention to us as outsiders, but I was damn glad to get back to the safety of the hotel last night. When we saw the city bus full of Boston cops activated for what we thought to be crowd control, we knew it was time to get the hell out of the Fenway Park area.

That's a cute picture. But my next-door neighbor has a Pomeranian and all that thing does is yap.

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
