Braves fans always complaining because the team doesn’t have a zillion dollar payroll like the Dodgers. Last night LA got beat by a pitcher who had been in the minors for most of the season, who’d earned a measly $56,000 this year.
We watched a good chunk of Tuesday night’s World Series game. Ohtani was the starting pitcher for the Dodgers, though he gave up a home run to Vlad Jr.
Mary Hart “caught” a foul ball last night. It had hit her husband. The old Entertainment Tonight crew has been experiencing a reemergence of sorts. John Tesh has been making the rounds ever since NBC dusted off his NBA theme song.
Prince Harry’s father is king over Canada, but Harry and Meghan were wearing LA caps while sitting in front of Dodger royalty - Sandy Koufax. Dodgers minority owner Magic Johnson (right) covered his face in shame.
It was 30 years ago this past Tuesday when Marquis Grissom squeezed the final out to clinch the 1995 World Series championship for the Braves.
Trae Young was on The Tonight Show this week. Since NBC is showing NBA games, look for more players to appear. Chuck & Chernoff were trying to remember when an Atlanta athlete appeared on a national talk show.
Fat tub of goo Terry Forster was on with Letterman, but Hank Aaron was on with Letterman twice, more recently than Forster. Aaron also appeared on Happy Days.
Did you see the clip where Giannis took several steps after picking up his dribble, but was not called for walking? Someone showed a clip of Dominique Wilkins getting called for traveling, and it looked like he only took two steps.
Supper Tuesday was spaghetti & meatballs, and a spinach dish.
Wednesday: up early to run / walk at the gym. Stayed on the treadmill for an hour. Then I drove over and voted. Only two positions to vote for, including my old BSU friend Tim Echols to retain his Public Service Commission seat. Isn’t every government position public service?
After the dentist I went next door to Dollar Tree for more Halloween candy, then next door to McDonalds for a $1 chicken sandwich. Then back home to catch up on work. After work I did housework for two hours straight – dishes, decluttering. Since it was raining, I couldn’t sweep or blow off the driveway, so I had to rake the whole thing. At 7:15 Dan and John arrived for small group. David and John joined us via Zoom. Finished up at 9 pm, and then I had to take out Winnie and Oakie again. Ceil arrived home from babysitting the girlies. All the while I was getting all these texts that I was too busy to answer. A seven mile / 13000 step day.
Found out this morning that I screwed up a customer order yesterday, and it didn’t deliver this morning. Made for a bunch of extra work today. Leo was out sick. I’ll be out tomorrow, so today was even busier. I got 50 million people asking “Are you gonna answer me?” Found a cool trinket for my office, to go with my matching Phinias & Ferb Pezz dispensers.
