I know your love for the Yankees is as hardcore as any member of Red Sox Nation's love for their own! My MA born and bred sister has lived in NYC for over 30 years and many years ago became a Yankees fan. My father forgave her (I think!) My father was Mr. Baseball. There were two things he loved most in this world...my mother and baseball and not necessarily in that order! :-) Several years ago Boston.com ran an article asking people to comment on their post season rituals. They ranged from which side the dog must sit on the sofa to not changing underwear! I love your non-political open threads. They are very welcome after weeks and weeks of "Oh God, what now?". We need an update on your animals soon! I hope your mother is doing better. Oh thanks, Amy! I know your love for the Yankees is as hardcore as any member of Red Sox Nation’s love for their own!

Oh, sorry - didn't mean to step on any toes with my love for the Pinstripes. It is amazing how well they have done considering losing their ace (Wang) early, early on, after he gave up a few games (before they realized he was injured). You just never know how a season is going to go, do you? What a lovely ritual you have to honor your father. I am sorry for your loss, and that your father was never able to see the RS win the WS. I know that must pain your heart...But holding his memory like you do, and the ritual you have, is touching, Jackarooty. If it helps any, my Boston friends and cousins definitely are Red Sox fans. We have a good natured rivalry... I am proud of the Yankees, I have to say. :-) LOL, Jackarooty – good one!

YES, the author clearly knows cats. Well, yes, actually, I do know something abt that aspect of Kathleen Battle. I had neighbors when I lived in NYC who played for the Met. Opera. And yes, she was a HUGE diva and tyrant, according to them. She was quite demanding, as I recall. One can hope she has mellowed in older age, right? :-) Hey, Portia Elizabeth -

Oy vey Amy...Yankees, huh? I'm waiting for my beloved Red Sox to clinch that stupid wild card! Red Sox Nation is generational. My grandfather went to the opening of Fenway Park in 1912. My father never got to see a Red Sox WS win. He died in 2000. The day he died I promised that no matter where I was I would bring him the newspaper the next day. In 2004 I got to do that! My playoffs ritual is to put his photo with my Red Sox hat on top of it and set them on my cable box. Nothing can be touched until the fat lady sings. I will do it again this year but honestly I'm not feeling the magic. I think your boys are going all the way. ~sigh~ Love the Cat Congress…they should have referred to the “hairball filibusters”…

I'd suggest we'd be better off if we put the cats in charge, but anybody who has cats knows they're already in charge. I've had a good anti-politics week. I did some major horseback riding, 'bout killed myself being so out of shape for it. Then I went to a fireman's fund raiser, really sweet bunch of guys who run a kid's cafe providing free lunches every summer. They had a dunking tank, carnival games set up. You really have to spend some time focusing on all that is good and wonderful about America, because politics is not always our best side. LOL, so that’s what the fat cats are up to, huh?

I really appreciate the MCC video, and am off to view the cat congress, capercaillie(makes my soul smile) and lover's song, thank you, great idea.

Both are greatly appreciated. Whoever wrote that Cat Congress story must know cats very well. Mine are totally into sunbeams and tinfoil. While Battle has an amazing voice, I saw a story on her a few years ago (60 Minute?) which made her out to be a supreme diva and a an operatic tyrant. Do you know if it's accurate or even partially true? I suppose with talent like hers, she has a right to be demanding. And I love Capercaillie! TY Thank you for the laughs and the music.
