It’s definitely September. Last week my average commute time was about an hour. Both rides on Friday were more like 50 minutes. It was flat out glorious.
This morning, the first commute in September, was close to 90 minutes.
It is definitely September now.
Three additions to the cellar reclamation project. Uncle Jimmy’s comfy chair has been moved to the television area, along with a lot of old stuff moved out of the way. Also, Jen’s iMac has been put onto a little (temporary) desk behind the sectional. Finally, the awesome Bruins banner that my gorgeous wife got me after the 2011 Stanley Cup Championship has finally, finally been hung on the wall.
Holiday weekend + rain every day = movie festival.
Saturday: Star Wars
Sunday: The Empire Strikes Back (with a bonus viewing of The Avengers)
Monday (scheduled): Return of the Jedi

The garter snake population has been reduced by one. I knew it was a good idea to leave that snow shovel at the bottom of the stairs. This guy was maybe six inches long, just a toddler perhaps. He was trying to climb the wall right next to the trusty snow shovel. I didn’t even have to get off the stairs to end it’s home invading existence.
I have to make this announcement publicly for all the world to hear:
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is the BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!
Also, “No. I am your father” is the BEST MOVIE TWIST EVER as well as the BEST MOVIE LINE EVER!!!!!!!!
Thank you. Carry on with your lives.
We just watched the old Matthew Broderick, Alley Sheedy flick War Games. ‘Member that one?
The kids didn’t get it. They didn’t understand why the situation was so terrifying to me and their mother.
Of all the things we have to be thankful for, that’s way up high on my list.
Well it’s September 1st and the Red Sox are still in first place. I took a look at the wild card standings in the AL today, just to see how far we had to fall this month to be out of it completely. As of this morning, Oakland gets the first slot, and Tampa Bay gets the second. The Yankees are next in line, followed by Cleveland and Kansas City.
Could we have a post season featuring three teams from the AL East? I certainly hope not!
My hopes for the playoff picture are this: the Sox win the East, and Oakland gets the first wild card. As for the second? I’m going back to an old, old baseball allegiance from the early 1980’s. for the first time in about 30 years, I’m rooting for the Royals! I want the Yankees and the Rays to both get eliminated, and I’m not a Cleveland fan at all (too many post season match ups with Boston in the recent past). During the George Brett days I was a big Royals fan. Those days have returned! Lets go Royals and A’s. Lets squeeze New York and Tampa Bay out of the post season picture!
Most important of all though, is…
Go Red Sox!
CAPA stands for Captain America Party Association.
Would you rather live in a world where birds pooped hot fudge or dogs pooped orange sherbet. This game is tres deep.
