GUESTS: Cal, Sandy and Ben

HAPPY DOLLARS: John Rainone is happy there is only 170 days till spring training. Russ Peterson was happy that his 81-year-old Dad had hit a hole in one. Dave McElwain was happy about Wednesday’s night game (game 6). Loretta Prescott was happy she could go on a field trip with her daughter. Scott Stevens was happy to be enjoying baseball (especially Red Sox baseball) in October but he was also sad and depressed that is was all over for the Red Sox. Norm Davidson was happy to see the Cubs didn’t win either. The last happy dollar was from Jim Hager who was happy to have won his bet against the Red Sox “They’re losers” “They Suck”

SAD DOLLARS: Steve Jendzejec was sad that he had “found a worm in his potato” and that he was going to have to run a special clinic in the office for the depressed Red Sox fans. Ed Kimball contributed a sad dollar because he didn’t know how to get rid of the selectman.
