Squinting Revisited

I wrote last night about the beginning of my trip to Talladega. I had lost/misplaced my sunglasses which caused some minor grief. I had searched high and low around the house to no avail. The School Girl last night rustled through the duffel bag that I had brought with me to further search. I knew that she would come up empty handed as I had already emptied this bag.

She walked over to me and presented to me my sunglasses case! I was annoyed because she pulled them out of my stupid bag. Apparently there is a hard piece of cardboard in the bottom of the bag and the glasses had slipped under this. I feel like an idiot.

Round 2 Predictions

I wrote the other day about the first round of the baseball playoffs. I did well on the AL series’ but the NL kicked me right in the backside. Let’s see if I can do a little better this time around.

The ALCS matchup features the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox. The Cleveland pitching staff is phenomenal but don’t overlook the BoSox. I am picking the Beantowners in 5 games. The offensive power in the Boston bats will just be too much.

Alternately, in the NL I gave no respect to the Colorado Rockies as they swept the Phillies. I cannot see them actually beating the Arizona Diamondbacks; however, I will pick them here. I am always a fan of the underdog so I am pulling for a Boston/Colorado World Series. Let’s see if I do any better for this round.

Who do you think will pull out the victories?

Prayers And Then More Prayers

Friday a very important person in my wife’s and my own life is having a medical procedure that is directly related to cancer. We knew this was happening over a week ago.

Yesterday I found out that another very important person to us is also having a medical procedure…on Friday…that may/may not be directly involved with cancer. Friday will obviously be a dreary day. Feel free to toss well wishes and prayers in a southerly direction.
