Came Again Another Day

(title stole from Boston Globe front page weather blurb

Still raining out there, now day 6 without sunshine. And this time, I mean raining - no fake drizzle today. Soccer is, of course canceled. But it should make for a good day to get stuff done inside, which has been put off for a while. I've already been up and cleaning off my desk. Of course, I cheated by dumping the huge pile of papers on it into a big box for later sorting. That's where I'm going to dive into next.

It's been so dark, damp and dreary nothing can get dry. My hockey stuff didn't have a chance to dry out, so I got to put on slightly damp gear yesterday morning - yech! And it is moisture laden indoors too. My washcloth, hung up to dry on a hook in the bathroom, was still wet when I took my shower this morning.

I imagine the chances of them playing the Red Sox / Rangers came is slim to none tonight.I still can't believe they were playing at Fenway yesterday in the pouring rain. I knew they were going to work very hard at getting the game in, because there was simply no hope of postponing the game to a makeup doubleheader this weekend. It was raining as hard as I've ever seen at a baseball game still being played. Of course, given the final score of 6-0 Rangers, with only 6 innings being played, I'm not the only one who wishes the game had been canceled from the start!

Speaking of the Red Sox, there's a new toy on Google called Google Trends, which shows a graph showing the frequency with which various search terms are being searched. Not sure it really means much, but you can see an obvious trend in here, which shows the graph of Yankees/Red Sox searches. Note the spike in October 2004, a beautiful month for us BoSox fans!
