Sox in the WS… best October ever!!!

What a crazy week! The Bosox were one game down from being eliminated from the playoffs, but staged a huge comeback and outscored the Cleveland Indians 30 – 5 in the last three games to win the American League and head to the World Series. I watched the last two games at Monoloco with the Red Sox faithful, with Sunday night’s game culminating with free shots and everybody singing to “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond (at Fenway Park it’s sung during the 7th inning stretch). I swear, the ambiance was incredible, people were singing, yelling, and chanting… and a bunch of us had our Sox gear on. I can’t wait till the WS starts this Wednesday… Let’s go Red Sox!!! Let’s go Red Sox!!!

Great celebration... talk about a team effort, everybody contributed (even JD Drew!)



This is one of the greatest sports celebrations ever... Papelbon doing an Irish jig (and Youk joins later on)

So I was at Monoloco on Tuesday watching the game, and Zac (bartender) introduced me to the one and only Cleveland Indians fan at the bar. So we got to talking about the Bosox, baseball, Guatemala, and other things, and he mentions that his wife is here in Guatemala doing some non profit work. He then mentions that she’s really adventurous and asks me if I had heard of a show called Survivor. I tell him that I love the show, and he proceeds to tell me his wife was in Survivor Guatemala (Margaret, the player / nurse who looked after all the guys when they got sick after the challenges). Anyway, I know it’s kinda dorky, but that was sorta exciting… I actually met her last Saturday, talked to her for awhile, and hope to have a pic to prove that I’ve met her very soon (she should be in Antigua for another week, so I’ll let u know how that goes).

So last night I finished watching Season III of The Office, some of the deleted scenes are freaking hilarious…. I know Season IV already started in the US, but it won’t start showing here till January or something (on FX). I’ve started reading Ecology of Commerce, which is really interesting… recommend it for any of you who are interested in the environment and sustainable communities.

As far as personal life goes, things are amazing… All my friends are doing great, different friends have started cool new relationships, meeting interesting new people and trying new restaurants in Antigua (had a huge brunch there this Sunday), and we didn’t lose in FF this past weekend (it was our bye week… hehe).

Later,
