Day: November 1, 2025

The bullpen, and the pitchers kept us competitive, but the bars were soft and ineffectual. Barger once again cost us a precious extra out by being absent minded on, or near second base. D’oh! What a way to have to go to a game seven. Losing 3-1, at home. It was a stinker. But a round of applause for the pitching staff, they kept us in the fight, and made us competitive. I pray we don’t go 23 innings to lose by one run tonight, and have to give up the series after all this hard work! I don’t think my heart could take it! No! I will stay strong. Maintain the faith in this team. I believe!

In other news it’s Saturday, and last night was Halloween, and the game six of the world series. The kids had fun, got lots of candy. Handed some out to friends, and went to a friend’s house to watch a movie. Not only that but with all the driving 8 had to do I didn’t wind up with any sugar addled kids under my car. I hate driving after dark on Halloween, too many kids out on the streets being goofy.

We also had at least fifteen to twenty kids, teens, youths come by, which is great. It’s hard to gauge how many we will get because some years it’s only one or two, and other years it’s more than forty. So either the candy dries up before the kids do, or we are left with full boxes of candy to deal with for months after the holiday. With no rhyme or reason as to which quantity of kids we’ll get. Huh.

Now I need to air out & dry off all of the inflatables. Dump out the collected water, and gear up to store them for another year. Guide wire, stakes, extension cords and the timers all need to be sorted out and stored too. Somewhere close, because the Christmas Lights will need to go up on the next delightful day in November. There is no guarantee of how many of those we will get, so I have to jump on the first one available. My guess is it’ll be a day when work gets busy again, just to spite me! Ha. Life um… Finds a way.

Not going to fib, I am bummed the Jays weren’t able to dig deep for some runs last night. That’s going to sting a little, early on today until I can get past it. No matter, on to bigger and better things. Ciao Bella!
