NOVEMBER 2024 NEWSLETTER

"....the 2024 Mets have taken us on a thrilling roller coaster ride all season, and the date of September 30, 2024 will be remembered as one such wild ride that felt like a microcosm of the season.  In fact, I felt like I lived through an entire season on Monday afternoon."

Those words came from me, in this very newsletter, a month ago.  What's hilarious is that my Mets continued that wild ride, improbably winning the wild card round against the Brewers and the NLDS against the Phillies before succumbing to the eventual World Series champion Dodgers in the NLCS.  I would have been extremely bummed out if my team did not make the playoffs, and I should have been devastated that we fell short.  But 24 hours after the Mets were eliminated, I had nothing but happy vibes in my sports fan heart, which was full of love for the 2024 Mets and will be for the 2025 version of Mets as well. And congrats to the Dodgers, who are uber annoying to their opponents and to their opponents' fans, but very talented and deserving of the trophy.

Of course, there is another competition going on next week, one that decides who our next president will be.  All I will say about that is that I hope you have a plan to vote, and that you will vote on Tuesday, if not sooner.  Voting in a democratic system is a civic duty that I take very seriously, and I hope that you do as well.  

And now on to the music......thanks for listening, and have a great November!
