Fenway funland

Venerable Fenway Park is turning into Citizens Bank Park: They're adding a barbecue smokehouse and a Wally's World amusement area for kiddies:

Wally's World at Fenway Park: Is a new area for kids that will operate from the middle of the 2nd inning though the end of the 7th. It's on Yawkey Way and the activities includes games for kids (skee ball, ring toss, speed pitch, etc.) along with kid-friendly concessions.

There will be video game consoles, screens with the game on and you can get coupons for 20 percent off kids merchandise at the team store. Wally himself will be there during the third and fourth innings.

Normally, this would appall me. But I'm a new dad, so I reserve judgment.

Eight years ago today, Christine made my life complete. Usually, we head out of town on our anniversary week, but because our life is a little more complete this year, we're just staying home. Last year's pecan pancakes in Savannah sounds nice, but I'm perfectly happy eating at the Italian place around the corner and hanging with my lovely bride and our adorable baby boy.

Today's games: The Red Sox lost to the A's 6-4. The Phillies and Cardinals are tied at 1 in the 6th.
