While our lives here are full of new adventures and interests, we are not so blind as to realize that life marches on back home for the ones we love. In the past three months we’ve missed weddings, births, bar mitzvahs and all sorts of other happy events. Its been tough, pretty much the hardest part about being here, and luckily we’ve been able to rely on correspondence from friends and family to stay relatively in touch.
But there is also this. As of this morning, the Red Sox are off to the World Series against the Rockies, who were a sub-.500 team the week we left and lost a series in Denver to the lowly Royals the week before our wedding. The Patriots are undefeated and this year’s edition may be the best team of the dynasty so far. The Celtics have completely reinvented themselves with the Allen and Garnett deals and are among the title favorites in the NBA. And not only was this the year that Washington and Ohio State went head to head in college football (thus dividing our young household down the middle), but now the Buckeyes are the top ranked team in the country.
Somehow we get the feeling the sports gods are taunting us.

Just to let you know, you were sorely missed at all the events. But, knowing that you are 'doing good' and are togther helped ease the empty spaces. Mom/Barb
Jamie and I were thinking fondly of you both when we were sitting in Fenway for Game 2 of the World Series... That's quite an unbelievable story... We especially missed you for the celebration after the sweep! We'll look forward to having you back, keep up the good work, and save us some papaya!
