This week is one of those funny, stubby weeks – a few days of work, a few days off, John is picking up my mom from the airport and working an odd, late day tomorrow due to a faculty senate meeting.
As a result, we have that semi-giddy, let-off-the-leash feeling you get when life is off kilter. Â We watched Nick Hornby’s Fever Pitch this evening – growing up in Red Sox Nation, we felt both the hero and the heroine’s pain. Â And also their triumph. Â It was a surprisingly nuanced movie. Â If you like sport, or love someone who likes sport, I can recommend it.
I’m not ready to go to bed yet, and I can hear John upstairs laughing at Milo. Â It’s a good sound. Â Hearty and loud. Â It makes me look forward to the holiday weekend.
