O’zapft ist!- The annual rite of Oktoberfest starts in Germany this weekend. What I wouldn’t give to be there. Webcam here.
Stock market – I hate having my retirement future subjected to the whims of the greedy slime that run amok in the NYSE.
Red Sox – They’ll make it to the post-season, but will they get past the Angels or the Rays?
Politics – I’m getting so sick of it.
Fall weather – Cool at night, warm during the day. I love it.

Ups and downs of the week.
Red Sox – Still looking pretty good, although two tough losses to the Rays have us still 2 games back.
Hurricane Ike – This one is going to wreak havok on Galveston and then come up and smack us.

Modern medicine – It really is miraculous how the doctors can spot developing problems and solve them before they become life threatening.
Cancer – It’s wrought havoc on my family in the past and has struck again. Luckily, modern medicine will most likely make this a mere inconvenience. See above.
Formula One – Tight race this year. Best season in a long time.

This looks as bad as it is. Torn ACL. Season over for Brady and, effectively, the Patriots. 🙁

Ups and downs of the week.
Shula’s Steakhouse – Sent my sister and her husband there for an anniversary meal and they were treated like royalty. Glad good service is still in style.
Hurricane season – Looks like a bad one this year.
Red Sox – Playing better all the time. And now they have several veterans back in the lineup. Lowell was awesome tonight in his first game back, as was Beckett.
Presidential race – When will they focus on the ISSUES???
Mark Kotsay – Another valuable addition to the Red Sox. Welcome to Boston, Mark.
Kitties – Does it get any cuter than this?
