to a great colleague in our Dallas office. He has been wearing his 2007 World Series T-shirt since the 'Sox have hit a good stride of late. He does not plan to change it lest he jinx the streak. Now, that is taking one for the team, realizing that his wife may relegate him to garage with that T-shirt real soon. I just hope he has a/c out there!
I ran into one of our really terrific lawyers in the Dining Room yesterday and we feared shaking hands lest we jinx the streak.

A tip of the cap indeed! Wow! I thought I was an obsessed fan. Superstitions are sometimes dismissed as rubbish, but I think they actually work. I'm friends with Jerry Remy on Facebook and when he put out the call for everyone to turn their Wally dolls over, I jumped on that. Of course, I do own a stuffed Wally. Who doesn't? But I couldn't just stop there. What followed was a week of eating the same thing for dinner, wearing the same Sox clothing and sitting in the exact spot on the couch. When the Sox started winning, of course I immediately thought it was because I had aligned the karma by my nightly routine. I could have been a ball player because I can go for weeks without changing a thing.
