Absence makes the home team grow stronger
My theory is proving correct. When I moved out of Boston to San Francisco, the Patriots won two Super Bowls and the Red Sox made it to within 8 outs of the World Series. I suspected I just wasn't far enough away for the Sox to benefit fully. So, I planned this trip. I've managed to get almost halfway around the globe, and it seems to be working. The Sox have made an incredible comeback over none other than the hated Yankees to reach the World Series. Rest assured, the games will be shown here (at 5:00 AM on ESPN -- I guess there are no cricket matches then), and I will be watching whenever I can. We'll be heading a bit farther south in an attempt to put more distance between me and Boston. I only hope there are enough TVs in Goa to watch. Go Sox!

Hello from the Wakefield Homefront and site of the crazed and crazy Red Sox fans. Let it not be said that you are the only superstitious cause of the Sox' latest wins. Tim attributes the ALCS victories to remaining out in the kitchen when watching the last 4 games- all victories as you know. I had to wear the same red turtleneck for games 6 and 7 and our Wally doll was on his head for those 2 games as well. We two were also some of the few true die-hard (DUMB?)fans I know who stayed up to witness all of the record breaking long running games. Needless to say I'm working on agood set of bags under the eyes.
For Games 1 and 2, Tim is trying to "mix it up" by viewing the games from different friends' homes, since he felt rather confined during the last set. I'm wearing my new Johnny D shirt.
You may not know it but the Pats are also doing great- they just won their 21st straight victory(an NFL record) to go 6 and 0 for the season over the Jets who before yesterday's game were 5-0 themselves. See what you have been missing besides the fun and excitement of your loving families?
Hope your enjoying staying with your "substitute" Families @ Bombay.
Love and be well,
Mom (aka the Wakefield Carol)
