Ups and Downs of the Week

Red Sox – Back on top, but they blew another chance to gain a game tonight. This quixotic quest for Wakefield’s 200th win is costing them games. They need another starting pitcher or we won’t go far in the post-season.

Hurricane Irene – This storm could make a mess of New York and New England.

Formula One – After a 3 week summer break, it’s back this weekend at Spa, one of the world’s great tracks.

Caught this guy snoozing in the trees out back. Later his sibling came along and snuggled up.

It’s all fun and games when a moth makes it into the house.

Here’s a 100% crop of her eye from the previous pic. Look closely and you can see the railings and roof overhang of my porch as well as the trees in the yard. I love prime lenses.

Ups and Downs of the Week

Red Sox – Still trading the top spot with the Yankmees, but the injuries are beginning to pile up again. No bunch of Cal Ripkens here. They’ve taken two in a row against the Royals, but they should. Can’t continue losing series to lesser teams.

Kiki loves her boxes, even when the box is too small.

Abby and Ollie have always been best friends and are often found snuggled up together in the ring bed. This started when they were just kittens.

And even today, when they’re both fully grown and Ollie is practically an ox, they still manage to squeeze into the ring together for a nap.

Ups and Downs of the Week

Summer is Over – Well almost. One more week before school starts. It’s been a miserably hot summer, so I’m glad to see cooler weather coming, but I’m not ready for the fall semester yet.

Stock Market – Up and down, up and down. Not too bad overall on the week, but I’m sure my retirement savings took another beating.

Red Sox – Back on top by 2 games.
