And the Red Sox Win the World Series...

A few rather normal days of work. Started a new job, a complete interior. Looks like it will go smoothly. A bit weird as the guy sleeps all day and we have to keep the noise down until he gets up at around 3 pm. No color scheme, everything is going white. Today was a bit of running around. Picked up a stretcher (for a canvas) from a carpenter and took it to an artist. Back at the job I convinced Mike to help me with a little bit of exterior work that I needed to get out of the way. A trip to the paint store to make sure the guys would be well stocked, since I won't be there tomorrow. Met Meredyth to hang a piece but we didn't really know how it should go... (twigs, tied together to represent an abstracted running man... three pieces... head arms and legs. The museum hadn't sent the photo back and the client wasn't available so we postponed until next week. Just as well, the ladder I'd brought wasn't appropriate. Some banking and a quick stop at the Plough, where the talk was all Red Sox. I'm not really a sports guy... but I'd watched all the final games. Hey, Boston has waited 86 years for this... hard not to pay attention. We've been so close and dissapointed over the years, it's become part of the city's zeitgeist. What are we going to do, now ???

I cant get excited over baseball anymore than you can get excited over cricket - both silly games where you hit a round piece of leather with a lump of wood and run around alot and shout things. Silly mid on. Square leg? Strike one? First base? Googly? Its utter nonsense!

What can Boston do now? Well, for one thing, no more complaining, right? I mean that's part of the city's personality, to moan and complain about the Bambino curse. I think the real moment for Boston was beating the Yankees. The World Series was boring in my opinion. Now the Chicago Cubs will get all the bitch and moan glory. Poor Boston will be so jealous. ;~)

Swap... you're right. The big thing was beating the Yankees. The series with St. Louis WAS dull... especially the last game. The Cubs have the only right to man, now.
