Sometimes Sports Do Matter...

Incidentally, my favorite part of this video is the row of Yankees fans who look slightly embarrassed but are still like, "yeah, yeah...god dammit...respect..."

If you don't know the history and the fierceness of this rivalry, you can read about it here which just goes to show you how momentousness this occasion was.

Because if any city knows what it's like to go through something like this, God Bless, NYC does...on a much larger scale. 

I haven't really posted on this yet,and I'm not going to wax poetic on it, or go all "America, Fuck Yeah!" on you, because I have an extra special love for Boston that has prevented me from really addressing this...

But yeah...whenever something horrific happens in this world, it's a blessing to see that we all seem to come together, and that basic humanity wins out in the long run.

And now a tribute to the Boston accent that to me is one of the best accents in the world ever...

 And of course:

God, I love Boston.

Luck O' the Irish?

I found this growing outside of my front door while doing a little lawn maintenance this afternoon:

Just in time for St. Paddy's!  It's the perfect holiday decoration: tasteful, and free!

Incidentally, did you know that Luck Of the Irish actually means to have bad luck?  Which makes sense, because let's face it, the Irish are not a very fortunate people, but I never really thought about it before.  Once again, WikiAnswers to the rescue.

I especially like the phrase "The Irish have been, and are a spectacularly unlucky race."  Burn!

Whatever the meaning, I am taking this as another positive sign that things are moving along splendidly.
