"Now I Can Die in Peace"

So I have completed "Now I can die in Peace" unlike the last book I have no review. If you are a Red Sox fan or even a fan of the sports story I believe this is a must read. Simmons is great which is pretty much all I have to say on that topic.

I also just went back and added pics to the race for the cure post. As and editors note i would say i sound a little snobbish in that one when I talk about raising money. It shouldn't matter who raised it just that it was raised. Since i don't want this to be a revisionist history I am going to leave it in there. I am still waiting on the pic's from Phish, They should be good. I am excited for them. More to come...

Festival 8

1st off Festival 8 was amazing. The setting was unbelievable, the Polo grounds were amazing and they did so much to make it visually appealing. There was all kind of things with fire shooting out of them, a Farris wheel, and a huge TV for anyone who wanted to watch World Series or NFL games. The weather, I did not do such a good job of preparing for, it said 90 during the day was accurate but i failed to realize that it would be in the 30's and 40's at night. I of course didn't bring any pants just shorts and only one hoodie so once the sun went down I struggled to stay warm. I prob spent more money than I planned but after it was all said and done I would do it again in a heartbeat. The only thing I would change is I would like to go with more people, I love Domsky but he is a difficult person to follow on a weekend like that and I hate playing games. If we had a group of 10-12 or more I bet that it would be amazing. I feel like a broken record but there will be pictures coming, I still don't have a camera so I must relay on others. I know I said I might change a list item and I still might, i will have to review the list and see if there is an area I could make that happen. I did make some actual progress on the list this weekend however. I am about 40 pages shy of finishing "Now I can Die in Peace" and i found a trinket that i plan on carrying around for the next year then giving it away. I wanted to make it a key chain thing but was told that would break it so I will figure it out. again Pic's coming. I also am going to try and just type more on here. I have found that I write things in word or OneNote then they never make it to the web, so hopefully that stops now.
