Sunday

I couldn't decide what to do with the Home Page pic, so I just went to an old fav.  This would have been the reunion day picnic in Incline Village, July 2010.

Had a pleasant visit from 2 and The W on Saturday evening.  Very low-key at the MCSC, but there was a little company to make it seem like pre-IC times.  The Total Wine inventory is a bit light at this point.

My daily reference to my calendars revealed that yesterday was the five year anniversary of 2 bringing The Winniferous home from the kennel.  If this pic wasn't taken that day, it was the next one.  Cute puppy!  You are Pet of the Day!

The Cards are in the play-offs again.  As an organization, they continue to set a high standard.  There's not more than a couple of players still on the team from the squad that won the World Series in 2011.  Their reward for winning their division this year?  They get to face the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw starting Friday.  But Kershaw doesn't pitch every game.  StL will compete.

I read an article someplace that the MLB schedule for next year could have a World Series game played in November.  I think that may be a little late, eh?

The Americans threw-up on themselves again in the Ryder Cup matches this weekend.  Not that there's a lot of golf fans in the Peanut Gallery.  But stay with me on this.  They play a total of 28 matches over the course of the three days.  The Europeans won 16 and a half to 11 and a half.  It wasn't that close.  In the alternate-shot format that is used in eight of the matches, Europe won 7-1.  For whatever reason, the US golfers can't figure it out.  In two years, they'll do it again in the Twin Cities area at Hazeltine.

 

Another big week on tap here.  I'll love it when October 15th is here.  But it will be misery getting there.

Make it a good week in your neighborhood.
