If you have a chance to catch this year’s Squirrel Nut Zippers Christmas Caravan, do so. Tonight’s show in Beverly, MA, show got off to a good start and just kept getting better. Wonderful music and tremendous fun!

Dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. 1. If they’re native bees, why do they need a guide? 2. Who thinks bees can read? 3. Even if they need a guide and can read, how are they going to turn the pages? Amiright?

This is it. The economy was good. The U.S. was regarded as the global leader in geopolitics and scientific/medical research. We’ve squandered all that for what — the Trump family’s bank account and Steven Miller’s vision of a fourth reich?

The country’s going to hell, and I may never be able to retire, but at least I have my memories of the ‘75 Red Sox. I was there for the first game of the season and the last, as well as a lot in between. (Yes, I know the season didn’t end with Game 6, but I can’t find my Game 7 ticket.)
