Fenway Park during a night game. When school let out on a game day, there was always a desire to take my allowance for the week and wind my way down to Kenmore Square for a Red Sox game.

Of course, I slept 14 hours after staying up 30 in order not to sleep through the game. So now [...] Read more »
Whomever we were, we were taking a road trip, across the entire nation, spilling from city to city like a rip tide running across sand castles left from the day. Damn, that’s poetic.
