A moment of silence, and a tip of Ted Williams' hat - if gods are answering letters tonight - in memory of John Updike.
For a writer, I'm not the most literary sort, but I've always liked Updike because of his Red Sox connection, most notably his famous essay about Fenway and Ted Williams' last at bat: Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu. I also liked his short story A&P, probably because I was assigned to read it at a time I also worked as a grocery store cashier.
While looking at his Wikepedia page tonight, I learned he was from Berks County, Pa. I don't know if I had known that. I will consider him an honorary SoxandPhil, like the late John Marzano.
