Playoff baseball is bad for my writing.
The Red Sox being down 3-1 in the ALCS is bad for my everything.
But, I was accosted by a disarmingly sweet Jehovah’s Witness at the gas station this morning and handed a small booklet entitled “All Suffering SOON TO END!”
Might this mean the Sox are going to win tomorrow night, and the two games thereafter, then sweep the Rockies in the World Series?
Or, does it mean the Sox lose tomorrow and are eliminated, which signals the end of playoff baseball –- or at least the need to watch every second of it -– for a die hard Sox fan… so I can write again at night?
Which suffering is it, Ms. Witness? Sox keep going and win the series but I still don’t get to write for a while? Or Sox get knocked out and I go back to writing?
By the way, the booklet mentions that soon God will remove wickedness from the earth and this planet will become the paradise it once was. The part about this that concerns me is that the booklet also declares that all the dead people will be brought back to life to enjoy the new paradise.
We’ve seen the movies, so we know how it ends when the dead are brought back to life.
Plus, think of the traffic jams…
(Shit. It just occurred to me. Maybe I'm part of the wickedness that will soon be removed. Guess that solves my traffic worries anyway.)

I remember when sucks, I mean SOX fans were just happy to be in the playoffs...winning the series spoiled you all. If the zombies could come back as civilized vegetarians, I'm fine with it. But they'd probably defoliate the world right quick.
