What do I remember, how do I use it now, and so on. I found ways to avoid math for the larger part of my life. Went to a...Carolyn KimpelPractice what you preachtag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e008dd21d188340120a5d79b5e970b2009-10-10T15:56:53-07:002009-10-10T15:56:53-07:00I told my students not to watch the games this weekend. I told them the games were on too late. I told them this with red socks on, so it’s hard to say how seriously they took me. What I...Carolyn KimpelLet the insanity begin...tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e008dd21d188340120a6074c4b970c2009-10-01T03:21:42-07:002009-10-01T03:21:42-07:00Last night I did something very unlike me. I left the game early. Even though we already had the wild card, and essentially all of our starters were no where to be found, I figured, its still Fenway, it’s not...Carolyn KimpelReady for Remytag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e008dd21d188340120a5602bc6970c2009-08-20T11:03:36-07:002009-08-20T11:03:36-07:00We are seven games behind. We are just a game ahead of Texas in the wild card race. But here’s the thing, I’m not panicking. Last night over dinner my father asked me if the Yankees lost Tuesday night. I...Carolyn KimpelNot a complete losstag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e008dd21d188340120a5484efc970c2009-08-13T14:30:23-07:002009-08-13T14:30:23-07:00So the fifth shut out of the season for the Sox. Nice and old fashioned timing. As much as I enjoyed watching the replay of Youk charging the mound, now I wish he hadn’t. Our bats are hurting. Ortiz has...Carolyn KimpelWe aren't dead yet!tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e008dd21d188340120a5426b70970c2009-08-12T13:00:50-07:002009-08-12T13:00:50-07:00Thursday started out with my Boston cousins. A beautiful Cape Cod night. Boys playing baseball in the backyard in Ellsbury jerseys, one boy and even had a Brady jersey making fall not look so cold. My cousins’ son told his...Carolyn KimpelBroken up in Bostontag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e008dd21d1883401157156a5cf970c2009-07-30T14:19:53-07:002009-07-30T14:29:19-07:00To think I was just writing a lesson plan for my students to write a poem about Ortiz. People were shocked I didn’t see this coming, but I can’t see these things coming, because it ruins baseball. Where have all...Carolyn KimpelRice brings Sunshine to Mudvilletag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e008dd21d188340115724631ae970b2009-07-29T09:52:10-07:002009-07-29T09:52:10-07:00Watching Jim Rice last night I became jealous for the years of baseball I missed. Watching highlights, watching his grace, watching Nomar’s reaction, I wished for an era of baseball not so full of pettiness. It seems the more we...Carolyn KimpelWith break in baseball we can get back to other important aspects of life...tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e008dd21d188340115711aef0a970c2009-07-16T14:44:30-07:002009-07-16T14:44:30-07:00Like hockey and basketball. I sat through class unable to listen to a word just picturing the line I knew was forming outside of the garden. Would I even get a chance at a lucky ticket? I brushed over the...Carolyn KimpelNomah returns...tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e008dd21d18834011570d73b48970c2009-07-06T13:12:15-07:002009-07-06T13:12:15-07:00Finally in Boston we can take a MJ break. Not to talk about the political status of Honduras but to talk of the return of Nomah. Boston is full of the most loyal and yet harshest fans. I remember the...Carolyn Kimpel
