Well…another boring night here..no drinks with G since she isn’t feeling well and this will make 4 days in a row home….I do have to start finding new things to do… was on the phone with my daughter for a while and may be going to Aruba next summer if the kids mom doesn’t want to go….hmmmm…tomorrow will be 5 days home since we are moving Ada back to Wed for this week….I think there is something like a little black hole in this place..it just keeps sucking me in and keeping me here….I have been avoiding the news today and will probably keep doing that tomorrow even after I vote…looks like lunch with T tomorrow which should be fun but I am getting some whiskey for tomorrow night…and probably watch movies to stay away from the disappointment the I’m gong to feel…and feeling like crap going out to Ada has been done before…successfully, too….no more later…it is 8 after all….

Well..another month starts and with the election coming, I just want to cover my head and sleep for the next two years. But that’s not for this part of the post….I’ve been sleeping pretty well while I’ve been sick but now that I’m starting to feel better, it’s back to the same old fitful stuff that is normal. Oh, well….I had hoped that a new pattern had emerged but it doesn’t look like it. There wasn’t a lot to do yesterday…you didn’t see that one coming, did you? But, I did get the living room cleaned up and all of the spiders are gone…at least in here but I have to keep that up today and finish then move on to the kitchen. Not looking forward to that….

My back has been killing me with the pain running down my left leg when I sit or bend over but it’s nothing new and I guess I can just live with it until it gets better….not a lot to do today…looks like it’s going to be cold so no bike ride until this aft…maybe out with G later but I’m not sure…but that is about it. I will have a topic for later, of course, this being the last day of political rationality that we’ll see for the next two years…more later…

Well…just a short one to relay some trail weirdness today…it was a little cold but tolerable when the sun was not behind the clouds…but, not cold enough for what I saw…a guy changing into a Santa Clause costume on the trail…nope, no joke, he had his bike parked and was finishing off putting the beard on when I went by….no other costumes, even though it is Halloween. But, isn’t that weird enough? It made me smile at least and I forgot how cold it was for just a couple of minutes…

Well…another month gone and not really anything to show for it…it hasn’t been that bad, though, I’ve had a lot of nice bike rides and have gotten cable internet that is really fast so that is a plus…I’m not going to get into the maudlin stuff of time passing, etc. You and I both know I’m getting older but everyone does so it’s not really any revelation. I do feel a little better today but had a slight setback yesterday afternoon where I felt crappy again. Must be a bug of some sort…

Not a lot to do today…had the huge disappointment of both Michigan teams losing yesterday but it was not unexpected…and having Fox sports back for the Wings was a plus…and they played well finally…it was cool to see Pavel back at his best and Ozzie having at least a reasonable game. Not much to do today…might have a SF if K didn’t go out and have to much fun last night but she is a youngster so she should be able to go two days in a row, right? There is also the Lions and Talladega on this aft so I won’t be totally bored even if SF doesn’t happen. So, on that note, I’m going to get to the other online papers that I read on Sunday mornings….might even find a topic for later…who knows?

Well…I hope I didn’t depress you with that last one but it was something I had to say…and you’ve seen me that way a few times so you really shouldn’t be surprised…but I am going to move into hunker down mode here for the next couple of years…and I do have hope that maybe, just once, people will surprise me and do something good with a bad situation…but just a little hope…I am a pragmatist after all. Oh, great news…Fox and Dish folks have settle their differences and I have my Red Wings back…but I have mixed emotions about it because it was forcing me to to go out amongst people to see the games…and I’m alone enough as it is…but, I will indulge in Ken and Mickey tonight here since the Michigan game is on at the same time and it’s kind of nice to hear the commentary. Going to make a pork loin roast in the slow cooker today…and then just clean this place up some…have another spider invasion since the weather has gotten colder and it is somewhat unnerving to have them in every corner again. That’s about it for now…I have a couple of topics gestating in the brain….oh, and I forgot to pass on that I am feeling better today…I think the bug is passing and taking the weekend off from beer is going to help…more later…
