Ups and Downs of the Week.

Neil Armstrong – Neil Armstrong died this week. Armstrong was one hell of a courageous man. To go to the moon in a tiny capsule and step out there into the unknown took some serious guts. And yet upon his return he quietly went about his business with no fanfare or hoopla. His dignity matched his courage. He was the epitome of an American hero. And he was one of a small group of moon walkers that is getting smaller all the time.

Weather – More much needed rain this weekend, but sadly it’s going to rain all through the long weekend thanks to Isaac.

Red Sox – ‘Nuff said.

Formula One – F1 returns this weekend and it’s at Spa-Francorchamps, which is a classic circuit with the greatest turn in all of racing, Eau Rouge.

I stepped out to feed the mosquitos last night and shot this from our front yard.

Back to the hot weather, although not into triple digits thankfully. Still, warm enough for a late afternoon dip in the bin.

Ups and Downs of the Week.

Red Sox – Or rather, the apparent looming trade with the Dodgers. Gone will be Adrian Gonzales, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett, and Nick Punto. That’s a lot of salary gone. And a couple of misfits and malcontents to boot.

New Floor –The bookshelves are all back in place. Oh my aching back.

Ups and Downs of the Week.

Weather – Glorious late summer weather. Cool nights, warm days, blue skies. It’s about time. Aside from the nasty thunderstorms and tornado sightings yesterday, it’s all been good. And the rain yesterday was a good thing (could have done without the 63 MPH wind, though).

New Floor – The new floor downstairs went in yesterday. Now we need to move all the bookshelves back into place.

Ups and Downs of the Week.

Weather – We finally got some rain and now the temps are back to what would be considered normal. Hope it stays this way.

Red Sox – They still stink and are still 2 games under .500, but Buchholz pitched a complete game gem tonight and got the win despite some defensive blunders by the Keystone Kops playing behind him.
