goooo sox

It's a great-great-great time to be in Boston! First, we're having the awesomest Indian summer. The leaves are already gold-orange-red, but it's still warm and sunny. Second, Boston teams are kicking ass. The Red Sox advanced to the World Series, with much drama as usual. The Patriots are kicing ass and taking names (actually, they might not even be taking names any more, 'cause they're so good).

Plus, Obama is coming to town. I may not get to see him, but it's the thought that counts. Of course, he'll be preaching to the converted... I would even rather seem him have a little chat with the dimwits in Ohio and Florida.

While we're on the subject: is it just me, or is the election process in this country terribly broken? I mean, c'mon, primaries? Electoral college? Do the words "simple majority" bring anything to mind?
