What better headline could one possibly ask for than “All is Lost for the Red Sox“?’

Then came the final blow, delivered by way of Canada like a cruel winter cold front. TheYankees had beaten the Blue Jays and also were in. The Red Sox officially had been eliminated.

Well, I can sincerely wish them better (but not that much better) luck next year; baseball’s more fun when the Sox are competitive. In the meantime…go Yanks!

Meanwhile, Harvard Mag has a nice write-up on Drew Faust’s conversation with Charlie Gibson, which turned out to be more substantive than I anticipated.

Meanwhile, the LA Times reports that none other than Mohammed El-Erian, AKA he-who-fled-Harvard-in-a-hurry, is considered a candidate for replacing Larry Summers. Weird, right?

Also, the Facebook movie sounds great. Republicans, not so much—the guy running for GOP governor of Maine says he’d tell President Obama to “go to hell.” Sheesh.

Also, Harvard owes a lot of money.

Oh, and one other thing. I’m getting married on Saturday. Then I’ll be away for a couple weeks. Will I blog?

I’ll have to think about that.

Be well, everyone, and if I’m out of touch, I’ll be back before too long.

Cheers,

Your blogger
