perseverance

Like them or not, the Boston Red Sox define perseverance. No team has EVER come back from a 3-0 defecit and won a post-season series. After the 19-8 drubbing they took in Game 3, most people thought it was over. Even the diehard BoSox fans who "still believed" had to have a measure of doubt about them. I mean, come on, the curse of the Bambino and all. There's no way they could do it!

But they did! They're a great example to those who've been told that something was impossible, or to those who want to give up because the odds are against them. They've also created a pattern for other teams, whether they're in sports or in business. Things may be down, things may look dark, you may be facing the "impossible", but it CAN be done. Ever been there? Yeah, me too.

So the report cards did come home, and they were very good - A's and B's for both girls. We were pleased.

Well, it's almost time to meet the bride for lunch at Rafferty's. She called me earlier and left me this very sexy voice mail about rendezvousing for a romantic lunch for two. OK, she didn't. Just thought I'd throw that out to see if anyone was paying attention......
