View From the Bushes

I finished The Da Vinci Code and though I would recommend the book, I don't think it's as good as sales and hype would lead you to believe. Certainly the opening of the book was quite engaging, but unfortunately by and large the ending seemed to be something of a cop-out. Also as I mentioned yesterday, the amount of stuff he tried to tie into some ancient pagan origin was truly staggering, and by staggering I mean appallingly incorrect.

Despite my cheering them on (which is the "Curse of Ross" referenced in one of the comments), the Red Sox are now one game away from winning their first World Series since 1918. And despite the fact that I would like to see them win, I would prefer for it not to be a sweep. I almost always prefer an interesting game to one where one team, even if it's the one I'm rooting for, wins in effortless fashion.

In any case, I realize this is not going to be very long. In addition to everything else, I have a Halloween party to go to tonight. In that spirit I will leave you with a link to a site where you can carve your own pumpkin.
