Torn between two teams

As I predicted, the Rays won the division and the Sawx won the wild card. For the past 10 years I have been a Rays fan and of course for the last 40 years, I've been a member of Red Sox Nation. (BII-Born Into It) This year has been different. The Rays are good. Actually, not just good, but damn good! So, now I find myself torn between my HOME team (the Sawx) and my adoptive home team (the D-Rays, oops, sorry, the Rays)

So, what is a Cambridge/St. Pete kid supposed to do? Pull for both teams and hope they both meet in the ALCS. That way I can at least go to the parking lot of the Trop and feel the atmosphere. Tail-gating is allowed at the Trop parking lot and believe me-you, I'll be there in full regalia! At that point, it's all about the Sawx. I love the Rays and want them to go as far as possible, but, come on..... Gotta go with the Sawx!

GO SAWX!!!!!

Commute

Wow, it's been awhile!! A lot has happened since my last post. The most significant change has been that I now commute to work. My previous commute had been about 30 seconds from my bedroom to my home office. Now I drive about 9 miles to my new job and it takes me about 30 minutes. It's pretty frustrating!

O.K., it's not a New England work commute, but still.... Some of you have to commute many miles and hours to get to and from work. It's a right of passage. Some folks take a train, some drive with the rest of the shmucks and some take a bus. Here in Florida, the traffic isn't as bad. Some of my friends go up to Tampa or Clearwater. They complain, but it's nothing like Boston!

I'm finally getting used to the drive. It's been 6 months so far and I really shouldn't complain. A 30 minute drive to work?! It's a piece of cake compared to New England.
