The entire Red Sox roster, including coaches, has been invited to attend Winter Weekend. Red Sox alumni will also be in attendance along with Wally the Green Monster and his sister Tessie.

The weekend will begin Friday night with the introduction of the participating players, followed by a fan-interactive Town Hall Meeting with Red Sox owners and leaders. The event will be televised by NESN on Sunday, January 22, at 8 p.m.

Throughout the day on Saturday, fans will have an opportunity to get autographs and take photos with players, see the three World Series Trophies and Red Sox artifacts such as Silver Bats, Gold Gloves, MVPs, and Cy Young Awards.

Brrrrr.... It's cold! A science experiment...

Brrrrr.... It's cold! I decided to do a science experiment...

It's about 4 degrees outside and I've seen a bunch of people throw boiling water into the cold air and it evaporates, so I tried it myself.... Luckily, I threw it away from me as it didn't evaporate 100% so when it fell, it was still a little hot!

I captured it in slow motion because, well, everything is cooler in slow-motion (pun intended)!

Here's the video:

I know it's been a while...

So I know it's been a while since I've posted but this winter has really got me beat. Between the snow, leaks, upended commutes into Boston (the train's new "normal" schedule has been 30 minutes consistently late), and other craziness just has me shifting my priorities more towards my full-time job in IT and family life and unfortunately the one thing that's gotta give here is the blog. Hopefully I'll be more mindful and devote some time to the blog in the coming weeks.

Thanks for sticking by us!
