Last year, Peter and I went to Boston, a city we adore. Some of my favorite places are in Boston - I love walking on Newbury Street, The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Esplanade, The Elephant Walk restaurant, I could go on and on for days.
However, the one thing I hate about Boston is that ridiculous way Bostonians act about the stupid Red Sox.
Peter ALWAYS wears a Yankee hat in the summertime, and someone in every freaking place we walk into has to make the, "Nice hat," comment - as in "Nice hat, you stupid Yankee fan, now I'm going to spit into your soup."
Once we were sitting on a bench at the Museum of Fine Arts and an old guy was mumbling something under his breath. We were sitting there for about five whole minutes before I realized that the guy was saying, "Fucking Yankees...mumble mumble mumble...Yankees."
It's so ridiculous. And the funny thing is that Peter actually likes the Red Sox.
Now that they've won another World Series, I hope that they'll start feeling a bit better about New Yorkers when we visit.

From everything I read about that rivalry, the Jews and Arabs will find peace before the Red Sox and Yankee fans can co-exist.
