I'm finally a blogger

Jack, thanks for setting up the blog. It's a great idea. I just wanted to let everybody know that Cathy started a new job as a Compensation Manager at RISD this week. All is well so far.

Overall, the Foxborough Davis' are doing well. Richard and Hannah are finishing up fall soccer and Elizabeth will be taking either dance or gymnastics soon. I'm still at Fidelity.

Everybody pull for the Sox tonight. I think they're going to need the karma and positive energy of Red Sox Nation tonight to get them back to Fenway.

I hope to hear from everybody soon.

Love,
Mark

Spirit lose in finals; team is being dissolved

The Spirit lost in the finals, three games to none, in the Can-Am league championship to the Nashua Pride. With the loss, the season is over and so too is the franchise. It is being dissolved after five years.

I loved the job, but after three years it's time to start looking for something else. A sad, sad day.

Spirit beat Surf, move on to finals

Hi all

The Spirit beat Atlantic City, three games to one to move on to the Can-Am league finals. Next up will be the Nashua Pride in the finals, game one is Tuesday the 11th.

North Shore Spirit playoffs

Hi everyone

We, the North Shore Spirit, are in the Can-Am league playoffs with the Atlantic City Surf in round one. It's tied 1-1 after the first two games. I write this looking out of my hotel window here in Atlantic City , NJ, getting ready for game three. If we win in the opening round, we would match up with either the New Jersey Jackals or the Nashua Pride in the championship series.

I want to thank Russ, Fiona, Laurie, and Phil and their families for stopping by to visit with us. It was a pleasure having all of you in our ballpark.

Hope you are all well!

News from Texas

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to say hi from Big D. The rain has finally stopped and now we deal with the hot and muggy stuff.
We had a great time at the Picnic, they seem to get better and better every year.

Love to all
Patty
