Knuckling Under....

Today we found 75 cents in change and 81 bottles and cans.

We kicked off June with a nice little haul of coins. Michele christened the new month by finding a quarter on Allen Street during her morning walk. It was at the intersection with Pleasant Street in some sand. A little later, after our run in the afternoon we went for a short bike ride. During our trek we added another 22 cents to the cause (2 dimes and 2 pennies). In order, we found 11 cents at the depot, 1 penny on Lucerne, and a dime in Front of Luigi’s Pizza. The evening walk contributed the final 27 cents, all of which came from the car wash.

Sox Talk – Well, the opening game of the series with Yankees was a good one for 3 innings. That’s when the wheels came off for Tim Wakefield. It was painful to watch as he struggled with his control, and finally, Tito came out to get him. Such is the life of a knuckleballer. Captain Curt goes in game two against old nemesis Mike Mussina, and every time I hear his name (Mussina), I think of the movie Patton. It’s the scene where George C. Scott is pointing toward the Island of Sicily and an in particular to Messina to which he says in disgust, “Messina…Messina, Bill, that’s the key!” “If they’d listened to me we’d have already taken the damn island by now.” I think Terry Francona is thinking along the same lines.

Good Night and Good Hunting~
