Miles from Fenway: "The Strike Is Over"?

I know I know, I haven't written about Johnny's departure from the Red Sox yet, and I will, I promise. But for the moment, I need to share what just happened. Having not wanted to walk across the bridge once again, I am working from home and sitting in my living room which is right on 4th Ave in Brooklyn. I just heard a cop car going down the street saying over it's PA system "The Strike is over".

But I just turned on the 12 o'clock news, and it seems that the TWU is still in a meeting to approve the workers going back to their jobs and even if they DO we won't have subways for at least 24 hours (while they get the subways back up and running safely). Hmmm. Well, at least it's a step!

Congrats on the strike being over!!! I wondered when you were going to mention that about Johnny Damon, how very sad. He was my reason for watching the BoSox, well that and the fact that my bro-in-law was born and raised in New England and is an avid BoSox fan!

You got to work from home? Lucky. They are making an announcement at 1, so I'm hoping the subways are up and running by the morning rush. One more 4.5 mile walk won't kill me, right?

Eagerly awaiting your take on this Johnny thing...I am probably personally responsible for 40% of your traffic since Wednesday.

FINY, are you officially in mourning over the Johnny Damon thing? I mean, it's like hearing the news that cats and dogs have started mating. And I don't even watch baseball.

P.S. What the HELL are you doing for New Years??
