Names for James Fenimore. It's been too long since I've been there. Maybe in a few years I can take my daughter. I've been turning her into a Red Sox fan. Little does she suspect what that means. Pretty soon I'll start teaching her 'wait until next year'. As far as visiting cities goes, I should put in a plug for the Hub (boston), but for the time being I'll just include a neat little website.
