Play Ball!

People know that I am a Red Sox fan.

To celebrate her 14th birthday, my son Ryan gave me a pair of tickets so I could bring his sister Kerrin to last night's game.

Ryan popped in about the forth inning just to say hi - he and Lauren are now flying off to Italy. The plan is for them to bring back extra copies of Creature dell' oceano. I wish them a wonderful time!

Before, during, and after the game - Kerrin's evening was filled with birthday surprises.

From afternoon shopping on Newbury Street to an after the game bike taxi ride to Copley Square, Kerrin's birthday celebrating is off to a great start. Her actual birthday is May 6th.

It is unimportant that we lost 3-0 to Toronto. The season's still young....

Before the game we both tried on the actual World Series ring, sized for David Ortiz.

Priceless memories. :-)
