2014!!

It has been 14 years since the millennium!  What!?!  Time sure does fly.  And here we are again, ushering in a new year.  A fresh start full of endless opportunities.  But, ushering in a new years forces us to reflect on the year we leave behind.  It is safe to say that 2013 is a year I will never forget.  It was the year I finally started working towards my career as a librarian.  It was the year the Red Sox won the World Series, the third in my lifetime and eighth overall.  It was the year we learned what the fox says.  And, most importantly, 2013 gave me my beautiful niece, Mackenzie.  Who knows what 2014 has in store for me.  A new job?  A new boyfriend?  A new apartment?  But, I look forward on going on this exciting ride.

I hope 2014 grants all your hopes and dreams!!  

Why?

Why does MLB call it the WORLD Series? In actuality, it's only our nation's teams vying for the title, right? No other countries are involved. Little League Baseball, on the other hand, has the final games of their series between a team from the United States and an international team. That is a real WORLD Series, which makes winning even more special. Don't get me wrong, I 'm not saying winning MLB's World Series is no accomplishment, I'm just saying maybe they should change the name to reflect what it actually is. Perhaps, The American Diamond Series, or The U.S. Pass-time Series. Those are lame but you get the idea!!
