Bits and Pieces

-Old news department: Colts lose.  One they shoulda, coulda won.  Dang.  And against the hated Pats.  Hate to think of football in Boston in January.  Maybe that other team will flub up on their way to the Super Bowl long before they get to the divisional championships.  Of course, then again maybe we'll have surprisingly good weather in Boston in January.  First things first - getting there.  Expect that means winning out.

-Saw Doug Denson (and Rita) yesterday pulling out of the CVS drive-thru window.  He had just finished up his shoulder surgery, had it iced up and was heading home feeling as if the operation had gone better than the opposite shoulder years back.  Don't expect he's looking forward to several weeks of down time and rehab.  Good time to catch up on his reading.  Let me see now - expect there a couple of books around here that would hold his interest.  John Irving comes to mind - Owen Meany, The World According to Garp.  Janet Evanovich and her Stephanie Plum books, fifteen or so of them, are fun.

-Did you stop everything and just listen to the storms last night?  Been a long time since we have heard bunches of rain and thunder in this neck of the woods.  What was even better, the storms came in streaks: a five minute downpour here, a break of five minutes and then another downpour and then another break and...  Well, you get the idea.  If you missed it the first time, old Mother Nature was making sure you had the opportunity to catch it the next time.  Neat stuff - I actually went out on the porch and took it all in  a couple of times.

-Better get some golfing in today and tomorrow.  Rain and cold come in starting with Thanksgiving Day. 

-Time for a walk out at the golf course.
