Proud doesn’t even begin to describe my feelings about being able to announce that Red Sox Nation has a new local member. Emily Rosser, 2008 graduate of Northern High School and (in my opinion) future Rhodes Scholar has been accepted to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (alma mater of Tom & Ray of “Car Talk” on NPR) in Cambridge, across the River Charles(“I love that dirty water”) from Boston. She sent me an email that ended with “GO SOX”.
Emily wanted me to make sure to mention her favorite teacher, Mr. Kolbe...an English teacher who is more than a little likely to read my “work” and sink into a large soft chair and exclaim “Mea comae stiterunt, vox haecsit in phocobus”.
Many years ago I was a roads collar.
The Heise Family at Will O’The Wisp on Route 219 have completed their renovation and now offer a truly picturesque bar and lounge at the entrance of Four Season Dining Room. Stop by and see the wonderful work that has been done there, enjoy the view and experience the ambiance...second to none.
We Gotta Get Out of This Place she said, I replied Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, but how about The House Of The Rising Sun. NO WAY, she explained, I was thinking more like some San Franciscan Nights or Monterey. Don’t Bring Me Down, I implored...just then the Sky Pilot yelled “Spill The Wine” in an effort to Bring It On Home To Me and causing me to sum it up with “When I Was Young I was always on the Inside Looking Out with C. C. Rider even though Mama Told Me Not To Come”. (Wonder how Mr. Kolbe would grade that paragraph).
Caitlin sent me an email from Paris to which I answered “je ne parle francais un peu” (the only French I know-’don’t know much about the French I took’). She wrote back “Wow Dad, your words came out in French on this computer!”.
Until next month when we help Caitlin move to her new apartment in College Park...see you on The Lake-Front!
