The true test awaits

Here we are, on the 94th day of the year, the day when everything changes.  So far, I have read 82 books (will hopefully have read 83 by the end of the day, it's only 10:30 a.m. in California right now).  I'm slightly off pace for a book a day, but not by much, considering that earlier this year I also read some adult fiction.  I'm trying to focus on this year's YA as more and more comes out, but there were times where my choices weren't fabulous, and I read a few from 2009 that I had missed.  Anyway, the point is, today, everything changes.

Today is Opening Day for the Boston Red Sox.  Since I became an adult with more free time (i.e. no homework filling up my evenings), I have pretty much devoted myself to the Red Sox, watching or closely following on Gameday, every single game, from the Opening Day until (every year, fingers crossed) the post-season games in October.  That was before I set the goal of reading over 300 books a year.  

So, today begins the ultimate test.  Can I read a book a day and watch the Red Sox, every game?  I know Stephen King has mastered the art of reading books during Red Sox games.  But let's face it, I don't sit around comparing myself to Stephen King.

Can I read these



















while also watching this?
















Can I do this?













And this?
















At the same time?

We'll see.  Starting today, at 5 p.m. PST.
