red sox trip!

So C.’s 86-year-old grandmother is like a HUGE Red Sox fan. A widow, she resides up in Maine and lives for the BoSox. Last year she watched every game save one (she had confused the time) and a few years back she had a life-sized cardboard cutout of Johnny Damon in her bedroom. Apparently before bed she’d pat wherever he had an injury. (The cutout is now in her basement).

And when an ice storm left her without power or heat this spring, she didn’t call anyone because she was able to find a radio to listen to the games.

So said grandmother hasn’t actually been to a game in … decades. However she has been doing some exercises to be ready because that is scheduled to change July 21! C., C.’s sister, cousin and I will be taking her to the Red Sox/White Sox game at Fenway. V. exciting!
