happy, happy day.

So much HAPPINESS today.

Obviously - last night's Red Sox victory has put me in a fantastic mood.  I love this team of bearded wonders and what they were able to accomplish for a city that has been through so much.  I echo the sentiments of Boston's Mayor Thomas Menino - going from, "worst to first" feels pretty awesome, as does winning the World Series at Fenway Park for the first time since 1918.

More importantly, it's my dad's birthday.  I'm not sure if he'd want me to tell you how old he is, so I won't, but be sure that age is definitely just a number to him.  He's still living large and dressing like Bagger Vance.   Happy Birthday to one of the best guys I know!

Oh and it's also Halloween, otherwise known as the best day on Facebook ever for pictures of cute kids in costume, hilarious pranks like the ones in this video . . .,

 . . . and tonight's Phish show!  Every time the band plays on Halloween, they cover another band's album in its entirety.  You may remember a few years ago when I dressed up like a strawberry and saw them cover the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street.  The trip, the show remains one of my most favorite music memories.  

Well, tonight they're playing in Atlantic City - and the speculation over what the Halloween costume will be is running rampant on social media and blogosphere. 

Among the contenders - Bob Marley's Catch a Fire, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti, and Huey Lewis and the News' Sports. 

I'm obviously not in Atlantic City, but I will be enjoying the music via the livestream (aka "Couch Tour"), possibly wearing this bunny mask.  

And, finally, TotalFratMove.com ranked Alpha Omicron Pi at the University of Georgia the #3 hottest sorority in the SEC and even though it's been more than a decade since my friends and I were in college, I'm pretty sure we had something to do with it.  

Enjoy your day - have a SAFE and Happy Halloween!
