Yesterday, my boss also extended congratulations to me for the Red Sox win. (As if I can take credit for it...) She said, "And hey, the city's still standing this morning... even though I heard there were something like 9 people who received injuries." I responded, "Yes, 9 injuries, but no fatalities," and we both laughed. Little did I know I was wrong. I'm off to see Flogging Molly with Pisser tonight, and then tomorrow morning, I hop a flight out to Spokane, Glittering Jewel of the Pacific Northwest™ for a weekend with my best friend who I haven't seen in months. She's throwing her annual can't-miss Halloween houseparty and, well, I can't miss it. But it's hard to take seriously any city where the Hell's Angels have their chapter headquarters right there on the main street. So here's some Friday bouncing-around-in-your-chair music for you. Right-click and save as, then listen and afterwards, try not to say, "YAR! I'm a pirate!" This song has that unfortunate effect on people. Flogging Molly - "Seven Deadly Sins"
