Fenway Park

A stumbling economy. Thousands dead in a war with no end started for questionable motives. And a government eroding its own constitution…
But then a moment like this happens at a baseball game, and reminds you that this is still an incredible country, and that most of its citizens are actually pretty wonderful people:

It was Disability Awareness day and the folks at Fenway did a lot of great things for kids with challenges..here is one who sang and when he got nervous the Fenway Faithful helped him out.

Hot or Not?

A couple new things on the site for you to check out:
– Posts can now be rated. After the whole ClickComments fiasco, I’m a little gun-shy about putting this up, but this plug-in prevents multiple clicks from the same user, so hopefully this will be more useful for actual feedback. As before, this is for all of you out there (you know who you are) who read the posts, but keep your thoughts on them to yourself. Now you can let us know what you think without having to actually write a comment.

– The Flickr feed is updating with some pictures from Thanksgiving, and other fall events — as sparse as they may be.
– Here’s a video we put together of Benjamin doing a couple of his favorite things: wandering around the house, and watching the bathtub fill up. Its from the digi-cam, not the crappy camcorder, so although the white balance is better, the frame-rate sucks and I had to do massive adjustments to the audio to make it sound like we weren’t shooting the video inside a jet engine. Not our best work, but I figured I’d get it up there for the grandparents…
