Quick trip

Thursday was busy for me because I had things that needed doing.

Today was busy for me because at 7:00 this morning, I met up with my sister and my cousin at Westfield-Barnes airfield where we boarded my cousins plane. At 7:45, we took off for Pittsburgh to attend our uncles funeral.

After landing at 9:15 and collecting a rental car, we made it to the funeral home just in time to help our aunts into the funeral home while our Pittsburgh cousins parked their cars. We spent the day at my uncles funeral and then hanging out with our numerous cousins and aunts.

At 2:00, we headed back to the airport where at 3:00, we boarded the plane and took off for home. At 3:50, we were back on the ground in Westfield.

The worst part of the trip was a traffic jam in Ludlow due to the closed West St. bridge.

It's nice to have a generous cousin with his own jet.


The Red Sox released Walker Buehler today and as far as I'm concerned, it was time.

He wasn't pitching well. Not well at all, and there were kids down in Worcester who can probably do more to help the Red Sox win than Buehler could.

Which leads to the news that the Red Sox have called up Payton Tolle for his MLB debut tonight.

Now I can't say I know a lot about Tolle but I do know that the media has been hyping him up like he was the second coming and I think that sucks.

This kid is about to pitch his first major league baseball game and the last thing he needs is to have ridiculous expectations heaped on him by a media .

He'll do what he can do. My expectations are that he at least pitch better than Buehler.


It's late and I'm watching baseball.
