As I’ve heard it: Jewish mothers were weaned on guilt, Catholic mothers were weaned on shame. Passive aggressive works, too. I can actually attest to that — Jewish married to a Catholic, both recovering.
Only because the Red Sox were pretty awful this year. It was really a season of “who’s on first” — I didn’t recognize half of the team. I’m pretty much mired in a past where the same players were on the team year to year, and we were fans through good years and bad. Mostly bad, Or tragic. Except pitching. What is with Red Sox pitching? Fenway is haunted. Go Pats!
