I am having such a hard time remembering that it's Sunday. I know there've been two shows so far and I know, in theory, that I have to be back at the theatre at 1 and that a cast party and a barn dance will follow thereafter, but it's all a little hard to grasp. Evidently travelling on weekdays disorients me rather thoroughly: Earlier I caught myself referring to my time in Cambridge as "this weekend."

In one of the Red Sox games this past week, a ball hit past the Green Monster was ruled a double by the umpires. Trot Nixon, presently on the disabled list, came out of the clubhouse -- where he'd apparently seen a replay -- and started slagging the umpires, who ejected him. I didn't know you could eject someone who isn't even available to play in the game!

There was a sign near some construction on Mount Auburn Street that asked drivers to Squeeze Right. Which is an adorable little instruction, but seems a mite inexact...

Music: "I guess I've all but said it now -- // so much for hopin' you'd go first. // Don't leave me hangin' out here on a line, // baby, it's your turn: // Say you couldn't sleep last night, // swore that you could feel me breathe..."
