Red Sox box fun
I have experienced the ultimate good life this past Monday when my firm treated all the summer associates to its Red Sox box at Fenway Park. Prior to this, I have only seen the beloved Red Sox play from the very last row of bleacher seats, and that was before they won the world series and I could still afford those bleacher seats. To see the red sox from the box was, well, a whole different ball game. First, instead of entering the park with the masses pushing and shoving, there is a special door and escalator for the box guests. The box itself is about the size of a large living room with all the amenities of a five-star resort: leather sofa, flat-screen TV, your own rest room with a smaller version of the flat screen appropriately positioned so that you never miss a moment of the game. Then there is the view. What’s amazing is that you can see both the panoramic view of the park and the players up close in the dugout. If you want to get really close to the action, you can leave the air conditioned room to the porch where you are practically watching the ball game on air. Of course all these great views will likely cause you to cheer or boo more loudly than ever so there are tons of food and drinks to replenish your energy. My favorite part was the ice cream cart that came knocking on our door during the seventh-inning stretch. My only regret is that my favorite, David Ortiz, was injured and couldn’t come out to play. But we won anyway, of course.

Wen,
I am extremely and utterly jealous. Sounds like a great time.

Hi Wen,
That sounds like a great way to enjoy the game!
How much more time is left in your summer at Bingham? Is the learning curve still high?
Thanks for blogging. I'm early on in my law school search and Northeastern is a top choice. Your blog is helpful.
Is there a big disconnect between law school content and the practice of corporate law? In one of your earlier posts you touched upon this a little bit. I'm just curious about how extensive the gap is and what other thoughts you had about it later in your summer. At the moment, I'd like to go to law school in Boston and then join a firm in the area. I currently live and work in western Mass.
Well that's it. Thanks again! Good luck with your school and work; I'll continue reading.
