Well kids, there are two things that you can be guaranteed in life. One, that we’re all eventually going to die. Two, the Red Sox will ultimately at any given time between April and October break our hearts, it's as simple as that. Here’s what I’ve got…
I'd like to make a formal announcement and maybe or maybe not it will get back to Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy, we all saw you. We all saw you jumping up and down and all around at the Red Sox/Yankees game last night, and we saw what shirt you were wearing. This was a traitorous act. I'd like to informally inform you that you are a huge disappointment to all fans of Fever Pitch everywhere. I hope they remake the movie and make sure you're not in it.
2. Let's move on .... We are on the cusp of a full moon, and don’t tell me we didn’t warn you. This one’s going to be a doozy because the way things have been going, it’s been like one giant all-encompassing full moon since August, and there are no signs of anything calming down anytime soon. The next full moon will be in its glory on Monday, October 6th, so prepare yourselves. According to Google, where we get all of our confirmed nonsense and information, the October Full Moon, is also known as the Harvest Moon or Hunter's Moon. This celestial event is unique because it will be the second full moon to occur closest to the autumnal equinox, making it the Harvest Moon, and it is the first of three supermoons in a row. How do I interpret that? Buckle up…the chaos has only just begun.
3. Was out on a visit this week in one of the surrounding towns that I have little to no luck in, and it should surprise no one that while attempting to do the work of the people, I took a digger of all diggers. I’m only assuming that the way the world is today that this event was caught on someone’s ring camera and will be available for your viewing pleasure on youtube sometime soon. Keep an eye out for that.
I was at a conference earlier in the week and at this conference they served lunch, buffet style. I saw one person with a Diet Coke and zoomed in on that making it my life’s goal to get to the front of the line and get myself one. I could’ve cared less about the food, I had an ice-cold frosty Diet Coke on my mind, and so my search began. I finally get to the front of the line which had to consist of about 300 people and it was as if a celestial glow and singing angels were shining down upon the ice buckets containing the beverages. I finally make my way to not one, but four large buckets of all varieties of things to quench your thirst, and not a DC in sight. I pushed soda’s around, piled things on each other, and dug down deep until alas, a Diet Coke was located and I’m not going to lie to you people, I would’ve fought someone there for it. I’m sure that’s the vibe I gave off because everyone stayed out of my way while I fished it out. Thirst quenched, caffeine back at a manageable level, my day was complete.
5. Later that same day I decided I’d get a little crazy and do what I rarely dare do, and thought, I can fly a little closer to the sun, stretch my luck and treat myself to a second Diet Coke. I knew the likelihood of another stray DC being found was slim, but I was up for the challenge. What’s the worse that could happen? I’d have to be responsible and quench my thirst with water? I turned to those I was sitting with and said, can I get anything for anyone while I’m up? Someone far more important than me said sure, can you grab me a Diet Coke? 😲And off I went. This time however, I may or may not have almost dove to the bottom of that ice bath to retrieve what had to have been the last two Diet Cokes in the whole place. Frost bite endured, mission accomplished, reputation somewhat still intact, it was all good.
6. Saw Gramma Edie last weekend kids, and what she told me was this… "don’t come back unless you have vodka, it’s the least you can do." Awesome. See you soon.
7. Life is full of choices, good and bad. For instance, my decision to eat a bag of peanut m&m's chased by a large, iced coffee Thursday afternoon while traveling at top speeds down route 9, may not have been the best decision I've ever made. But it could've been worse...I could've paired those m&m's with booze. Silver line people...silver lining. Exhibit 1, Sue Miller & Harley watching game.
8. I stumbled across this while perusing the internet this week. The Gloucester Rhode Island police departments facebook page. I don’t know who is in charge of their social media, but whoever it is, I want to be their friend. Apparently there has been a random goat loose and wreaking havoc on their community. A donkey caught wind of the goats shenanigans and decided to break loose and get in to his own trouble. Things are happening out there in Gloucester Rhode Island. Thanks to my new friend Renee C who pointed out to me this was Gloucester RI, and NOT Gloucester, MA before I ran out there to make new friends.
Exhibit 2, the goat.
9. Looks like the Sterling PD is experiencing some issues of the animal nature themselves. Worcester’s not the only community being taken over by turkeys. Exhibit 3, a post by the Sterling PD that they too are being harassed by these feathered beasts. Looks like turkeys have not received the memo that we are coming up on the season when they should remain scarce and hidden so they don’t end up on someone’s plate. Also, the residents of Sterling are far nicer than those of us who live in the Woo. Around here there will not be any warnings given or caution taken…the turkey's just get run over.
10. There was a rare Tyler Collette sighting today while I was out spreading cheer and doing the work of the people. I apologize for not providing photographic evidence of this encounter but sometimes you just have stay in your lane and allow celebrities a little breathing room. It’s not easy for Tyler to walk the streets and go about his business without being recognized by the dedicated fans of his youtube channel and the general public. Check out his channel here…not you though Sue Miller…we don’t need you messing up your phone and downloading something crazy.
And last but not least...I’ve said this before and will say it again. The world is tough and full of all sorts of unsavory characters who will go out of their way to tell you that you suck, so stop telling yourself that. Cut yourselves some slack kids and be good to yourselves.
Have a great weekend!
