I Found My Thrill

7 Oct

For almost as long as I’ve lived in Boston, I’ve wanted to go to Six Flags New England (formerly Riverside Park).

After Sunday, I can take that off my list.

Barry, Berk and I headed out to Agawam to ride some rides, and though Superman was not running, a good time was still had by all.

My favorite ride? Batman, even if it was actually, probably, the weakest of those I went on. Flashback and Cyclone both had me saying “Thank you, Jebus” when they were over. The bumper cars were weaker than those at Playland, but the wooden coasters here — Cyclone and Thunderbolt — were scarier than the Dragon Coaster because they felt more rickety and unsafe (amazingly enough).

Huh??

I had a weird thing happen last night when I got takeout from Bertucci’s. I ordered the rigatoni, broccoli and chicken, went to Kenmore Square to pick it up, got some fresh and hot rolls, etc. Then I got home, put on my “hanging out in the apartment” attire, poured myself a beverage, set the table, and got out the food. It was then that I discovered I had been given not rigatoni, broccoli and chicken but fettucini, asparagus and chicken. Huh?? Thinking I had just picked up someone else’s order, I called it in, and decided I would go back to pick up what I had actually ordered. When I got there, I asked the hostess if I had picked up someone else’s order. She said no, no one had ordered that. The kitchen was just really busy and they messed up. Now I ask you, dear readers: how busy did the kitchen have to be for them to switch two of the three ingredients in this dish and have no one notice?

Woo Hoo!!

There are many reasons to celebrate the Red Sox winning the ALDS. Here are some:

* A few days of rest for the team before the ALCS
* Beckett in Game One
* No matter who wins the Yanks-Indians series, we can say we swept round one. And we retain home field advantage.
* No game four on Monday, meaning no need to stay up late after a relaxing long weekend (the game was scheduled to start at 9:30 p.m.)
* No more listening to those awful, awful broadcasters on TBS (the American League ALCS is on Fox) or seeing those annoying Frank TV ads
* Tina Cervasio covered in champagne again
* More time for oblivious people to learn when the games are happening

Now I say, bring on the Tribe!
