the loneliest hour
the red sox season is over. 
after staying up to the wee hours of the morning all this week to watch the alcs playoffs, my beloved sox came back from 3 – 1 games down to force a game 7 last night… and lost at nearly 5am gmt.
the only thing more forlorn than being an expat sports fan, awake in the middle of the night, all alone in your devotion, no one to cheer with, and only the cold comfort of the computer screen glowing in the dark… is being a heartbroken sports fan, awake in the middle of the night, all alone in your desolation, no one to commiserate with, and only the cold comfort of the computer screen glowing in the dark.
i know, probably better than most, that there’s always next year.
but today, next year seems like an awful long way away.

if it’s any comfort – i thought of you immediately when they lost.
next year is closer than you think – and sooooo much can happen inbetween!

Boston.com had a piece on 10 ways to cope with the Sox loss. None looked too promising.
