Autumn in New England
Over at Dohiyi Mir, I was complaining that the much-celebrated foliage season in New England is only at its most spectacular for a period of about ten days, and that this period coincides with the Major League Baseball playoffs, where the Red Sox are usually capturing the region’s attention in preparation for their annual collapse. In 2003, the end of foliage season coincided almost perfectly with the shocking demise of the Sox. And then we didn’t see the sun until March.
The Red Sox are currently leading the wildcard race, so here’s the big question: in 2004, can New England handle the end of foliage, seasonal affective disorder, postseason baseball, AND John Kerry’s presidential bid, all in a month-long period? Or are there going to be riots in the streets?
(Control Room is coming, I swear.)
