All the teams I follow closely sucked this year, except one: the White Sox. And they may still blow it. So here is the list of teams I am rooting for in the playoffs, in order of preference, whether they have made it there or not (TBD by Sunday). NL 1. Brewers 2. Phillies 3. […]

I has been a while, hasn’t it? My brother and my sister-in-law stayed with us for a couple of days last week, which was excellent. Our guest room is all put together now so they had a real bed to sleep on. Wednesday night Alantra (that’s my sis-in-law) and I cooked a big dinner and […]

On a lighter note: Our new mattress was delivered yesterday and Brian even set it up (on the old bed frame, new bed isn’t due til Tuesday), put clean sheets on it, and washed the dirty sheets! Yay husband. Last night we slept on it — I fell asleep rapidly and slept well all night […]
