Nick from the Globe is going to Cleveland at 6 a.m. and is staying up, too. He suggested an 24-hour diner, but I’m not hungry.
So I’m headed to the airport. Here’s a shot of the tunnel.
The good news is the car has XM radio, so I’m listening to some decent music. Joe Jackson on Channel 44 at the moment.
Are you BLOGGING and DRIVING at the same time?????
Yeah Pete hang out at the terminal, its the best thing and you’ll get a jump on boarding.
I have to go to bed now…cant stay up.
Be safe Pete!
could you get pulled over for DWB?
You should not be writing while you drive Pete, very dangerous.
pete hang in there, the night is halfway through
Doesn’t XM have E-Street radio? Think they have Springsteen live on right now- Channel 58. Either that or night calls with Christy Canyon on Ch 99.
24 hour diner sounds great right about now
Pete,
In an hour or two, you’ll have tunnel vision.
And they’ll take you to the loony bin. Mumbling something about Ellis Hobbs and Keebler the Elf.
That’s it? Pete’s All Night Boston Adventure is going to be a drive to the airport??? In the words of Johhny Rotten, “Ever get the get the feeling you’ve been cheated?”
On the other hand I’m in the final three in a poker tourney. It’s getting intense.
Nick in SF,

Sorry, I couldn’t rant without invoking CC. Notice, though, that I never once call CC ‘gutless’.
“My point is, if they’re a Yankee support them. Don’t call them gutless or losers or trash just because they didn’t win the game. Wahhhhh. Poor Yankee baby fans didn’t get their win. Wahhhhhh. Put the binky in your mouth and shut up.”
m, nerves have been touched!
You don’t need to apologize to me for anything you say about CC, he and I aren’t that close. And he hasn’t pulled his load – yet, I hope. I trust he will, but his results thus far haven’t shocked me.
I don’t think CC has gotten any pass, plenty of people have ripped him on this board. But CC wasn’t the one pitching against out hated foe with a 6-run lead the day after a tough loss. And CC isn’t the one who came advertised as the AL East/Boston killer; that’s AJ. That doesn’t make some of the criticism of AJ completely fair, but that’s the territory here. AJ will have plenty more chances to earn the respect we both think and hope he’ll deserve.
Back in the good ol’ days, when you could smoke in diners, an early morning in a diner wasn’t a bad thing- get a pack of Marlboro reds, a carafe of coffee and a dozen airline bottles of bailey’s and chat it up with some trucker. Golden.
When I have to travel a lot for work I pick an old actor or director whose movies I’m into and either load them up on the iPod or take the laptop- last month was Lee Marvin month and I spent a night in Oklahoma City watching The Killers and Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance.
Am I the only one completely disgusted with modern day Hollywood? What ever happened to guys like Lee Marvin, Charlie Bronson, Glenn Ford or Bogart? I can’t watch the show 24 anymore- Lee Marvin used to lay turds bigger than Keifer Sutherland.
Sabathia got plenty of verbal vomit thrown at him last week against Oakland when he couldn’t hold the lead twice at the Stadium.
The biggest differences though is that the Yanks eventually won that game and yesterday’s debacle by Burnett was against the Red Sox.
People go haywire even more than usual when those sins come against their most hated rival.
I like chicken
