Make sure a Sunday/ Monday is in the itinerary as the haircut shave would be on a Sunday as the shop is closed otherwise I would have to book you for mid 2025

So......the Boston trip is definitely happening. And everyone involved all agrees that a Red Sox/Yankee game is a must-do. So now I just have to secure tickets. Right now the only tickets I can find are on after-market sites....and they're mostly season ticket holders making next years available before the tickets are even released. Certainly interesting to see what people are asking for a game a full year in advance ......$1300 for seats on top of the Green Monster!!!....but I guess it also comes with a possibility of taking home an Aaron Judge homerun ball. I saw him hit one in Yankee stadium....it was impressive.
But I'm also looking for other things to do in the New England area. I know I'm planning to go visit my Great-great-great-great-great grandfather's house in Hingham Mass. His name was Benjamin Lincoln and he was a General in Washington's army during the Revolutionary war. He was also the first Secretary at War (a position that later changed to Secretary of War and later Defense Secretary) and was the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts under John Hancock.
Here's his house....
See ya Later.

Don’t wait to buy tickets, they never last long, and prices will only go up. Judge will probably strike out three times and make a fielding error or two. Just saying!
I must say, you have serious New England cred! If you have time, go to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. They cover colonial history incredibly well with original portraits, a silver collection of Paul Revere, and other artifacts from that era. If you walk the Freedom Trail up to the Bunker Hill monument, you’ll walk past my brother’s home across from a small park a block downhill from the site. Before you get there, you’ll see Faneuil Hall marketplace and the USS Constitution along the trail. It’s worth your time.
Been a Busy few weeks. getting ready for the holiday seasons. The summer seems to drag on forever (when its 115 degrees outside,,,,it feels like it will never end) but as soon as my birthday comes around....well, its off to the races toward the end of the year.
This years birthday was quiet...except for the NASCAR race I went to the day after my birthday...and my Dodgers won the National League pennant!!!! They're going to the World Series!!!! And against our long-time rival, the Yankees. It should be a great series. I hope the only runs the Yankees score are monster solo homeruns from Aaron Judge and that the Dodgers win in 6 games.....only so they can celebrate in Chavez Ravine with the Dodger faithful. Friday is game 1 and it can't come soon enough.
On the gift side of my birthday....I got a few books....my two favorites being the Baseball Stadium Bucket List book.....it lets me write info about each ballpark visit including date, opponent, final score and what I ate at each game. The other favorite book is a replica of the Grail Diary from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It has all the diary entries and inserts that Dr. Henry Jones Sr. collected over 40 years of seeking the Holy Grail and helped to lead his son, Dr. Henry Jones Jr. to find the Holy Grail. And Nazis. But that's another story for another time.

Congratulations on the Dodgers getting to the World Series - now win that trophy! Sounds as though you had a terrific birthday.
Be well.
Be well.
WORLD SERIES 2024 CHAMPS!!!!!!!
That was quite a series. From the Walk-off grand slam (the first in World Series history) to the two Yankees goons trying to rip a caught foul ball right out of Mookie Betts glove to the 3 Yankees errors in the 5th inning to allow the Dodgers to tie the game up......and eventually win their 8th World Series!!!
I'm pretty jazzed right now.

Happy Halloween, Steve.
I checked the score in the third inning last night, 5-0 the wrong way. Ugh. Next I checked it was tied 5-5 I think. I watched from the bottom of the eighth till the end. Sorry I missed the fifth inning, I would have loved watching the Yankees implode! I’d love to read your impressions of this near perfect Series for your Dodgers. Enjoy the warm glow you get when your team wins the Series!
