Boston - We're back!

Boston may be a city with a rich history, but at its heart, its a sports town. For Steve, who was born here, loyalty to Boston teams may simply be part of his DNA. For me, the New Yorker, it may be in the water. (Hey, MIT and Harvard collaborate regularly and this is the US center for bio-med, so anything's possible!)  We've been home for a month, and besides unpacking and going thought the mail that's accumulated over the last 7 months, we've been lending our support to Boston's athletes. 

Up first - we hadn't gotten over jet lag, but we're there July 20 and the 21st, to support the Red Sox as they took on the "Evil Empire". This ball was wizzing right for my face. The fan next to me caught it with his cheeck and saving me from a definite black eye. 

Next was the Boston Arts weekend, with midnight concerts and Baroque music brunches.  Karen went to visit family in NYC, followed by a weekend of guests. What to do to recuperate? A double header - Patriots and Red Sox. 

Friday August 16, the Patriots took on and beat the Tampa Bay in pre season. Must say the boys looked good. Next two days we were back in Fenway for more Red Sox - Yankees, with mixed results. The new neighbors downstairs have Celtics tickets and we've got Bruin connections - so yup - were back in Boston!   Hmmm - maybe we need to take another trip for some R&R!
