It's 70 degrees in Boston. Why am I working today?
:cry:

The thermometer in my backyard just hit 70 in the shade. The air is so sweet, and you can really smell spring (and tree pollen). An afternoon seabreeze will probably kick in shortly and cool the temperature back to about 60 but it is one fine day out there!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

1. It's beautiful here too... I want to do my work outside in the park
but everything would just blow away in the wind :( I can't wait for 5:00 to come.

3. I'm afraid to turn on the Sox game
especially after the past two outings. It's still 0-0 in the bottom of the 4th (following it on ESPN)

9. You work with Yankee fans in Massachusetts?
Tell them to get the hell out! :P

I have friends that are Yankee fans. They went to school in Boston and liked it so much they stayed. But they still cheer for the Evil Empire.

11. My son's best friend (13 yers old) is a Yankee fan
we had a bet in the playoffs last year where the loser had to carry a sign saying that the winning team ruled and that the other sucked.

6. It I wasn't leaving for Florida Friday, I'd blow off work today.
there is something about a spring day in Boston-especially after this crappy winter!
