RED SOX ARE DOING FABULOUS

I know Roby would have loved the Latin reference, i.e. Carpe Diem, Seize the Day as well as the astonishing turnaround of the Boston Red Sox...

Is it October, yet?

Five weeks left in the Season. That's what I'm going to miss - the Boys of Summer. After the Debacle of last year (when we ended in the cellar), the new manager gets a lot of credit for putting together a great team....gotta love Johnny Gomes and our closer, Ebrehu ! We have seen the best baseball in two years this whole Season. We have been #1 in the Standings almost the whole season....missing Roby....Bernice, I know you are cheering them on !!

The game is on tonight at 10:00 pm; we're playing LAD, L.A. Dodgers who are also #1 in their Division !  Stay tuned.....

BROOKLINE WINTER

My photograph, Brookline Winter has been selected by the art committee of the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission for their Annual 2014 Calendar. Guess which month ?

It is 87 degrees in Brookline right now, August 20, 2014, 4:35 p.m. The sun is blazing. Fast forward to December........see above, the view across the street...

I received some nice emails from friends.  Check out the comments....
