Greetings from Fenway Park!

What a festive atmosphere. Our daughter gave us great seats behind home plate. My hubby knew better than to buy a Sam Adams so had to settle for a Bud. Lots of Yankee fans here. Go Red Sox!

Butternut squash question

My daughter insists on peeling hers raw. I microwave it and then peel it. My way is 1,000 times easier and I'm sure that recipes using either method would taste the same. I'm wondering what other people do.

I got tickets to see our First Lady!

November 24 in Boston. Becoming: An Intimate Conversation with Michelle Obama. I don't know how intimate it can be, at TD Garden, lol. Even with my app open at 10am on the dot with a presale code, I had trouble getting tickets and had to go up several price ranges to get in. I'm very glad she's so popular, but I wish ticket scalpers weren't so successful in grabbing tickets instantly. Or maybe it was mostly individual fans like me? I hope so.

Oatmeal and chicken salad

My husband eats oatmeal at Starbucks and brings me the Nut Medley packs for my yogurt. I told him to try ordering oatmeal and ten nut packs, and then say hold the oatmeal... like a weak imitation of one of the best movie scenes ever.

Oh great, I have to ship a box to NC tomorrow,

to a rural address (related to eBay). It should arrive on Thursday but who knows. This is minor compared to the emergency situation people will be facing, of course, and I just hope they make it through this safely.

I'm walking to the Warren/Pressley rally right now.

Three miles for the exercise, through Harvard Yard, stopping at Au Bon Pain for an iced tea. I voted for Mike Capuano but he lost, and I'm looking ahead and not backwards. I don't have a way to post pictures but I'll be taking some.

Just thought I'd put this out there in case someone else on DU might be going.

What is the op-ed author doing right now, cowering in fear?

Orange Idiot is prowling the WH carrying a single rose to award some lucky contestant, before he grabs that person and defiles them with a drooling kiss of death smack on the lips. I hope all their vaccinations are up to date.

I'd like to think they're smart enough to just whistle along at their job and not panic. Be the hero Drumpf likes -- don't get captured.

I just bought Nike shoes for a total stranger.

Someone on an email list I follow started an Amazon wish list for two local teenage boys in need of school clothes. I was so happy to see all the Nike items on the list! I hope they get lots.
