Today is Christmas at Fenway.
Fittingly, tomorrow is Roby's English yahrtzeit, December 17th. Thousands of fans showed up at 10:00 am when the temperature was 28 degrees and really feels like 19 ! Red Sox tickets go on sale today. Somehow thinking about that makes me feel warmer. Our new manager, Alex Cora is on NESN. So far, he is our only recent acquisition and winter meetings are OVER. Fans are not happy. Where is our big bat ? Instead Giancarlo Stanton went to the Yankees ! Curses ! Carlos Santana went to the Phillies ! Curses again ! No one understands why Dave Dombrowski has not acquired a big bat to replace David Ortiz...However the Yankees have forged full steam ahead - now they have Stanton and Boone, formidable and more powerful than the Sox.
CHANUKAH PARTY AT 1550
The fourth night of Chanukah. The room was packed with 1550 residents for latkes with applesauce and sour cream. Rabbi Jim brought his guitar and we all sang Chanukah songs and played the dreidel game. I hadn't gone to any events around here. Some residents expressed affection towards me - they hadn't seen me in awhile and said I should come to more things. How nice. Unexpected. Bette and I went together; eventually Clarice, Laurie, Nina and Miriam showed up.
