Lashanah Tovah!

That's Hebrew for Happy New Year. This evening started Rosh Hashana, the beginning of the year on the Jewish lunar calendar.

Today was also the 5th anniversary of the day we brought R. home from Korea. I can hardly believe it's been five years! I recounted the story of our first trip to Korea around J.'s Adoption Day last September. I'll try to post R.'s story in the next few days.

Sox won tonight, breaking a brief two game losing streak. The Yankees also won, so they're still four games back. The Angels and Mariners are tied 0-0 after 5 1/2 as I write this - I'm listening to the Internet feed of the Mariner's local broadcast. Schilling goes for number 20 tomorrow night, then it's off to the Bronx for the weekend.

Oh, and our $14 billion tunnel is leaking. That's right, the new Central Artery tunnel is leaking - apparently a section that should have been filled with concrete years ago wasn't, and water came pouring out of the walls. I guess $14 billion just doesn't go as far as it used to.
