Ali

Ali, my Australian friend, will be in America in October.

She's presenting a paper on teaching kids to read at Syracuse University.

Colts

The Colts' final preseason game is tonight.

I'll probably watch the first half.

College Football

College football starts in earnest this coming weekend.

It's fun.

Pirates

It looks like my Pirates are pretty much out of the playoff chase.

Darn it.

McCain

John McCain passed  away Saturday.

He was a great man.

Bummer

I just had an accident in the bathroom.

Bummer.

Temps

I have aides who say my place is hot, and others who say it's cold.

It's odd.

Physical

I got my annual physical this morning.

All is well.

Luck

Andrew Luck had some good plays in the Colt game last night.

They'll need a running game, though.

Weekend

I had an uneventful weekend.

That's how I like it.

NFL

I rarely watch preseason football, anymore.

I'll watch the Colts, but not much more.

Dennise

My aide Dennuse did a shift today.

It was great to see her again.

STAR TREK

Patrick Stewart might do another series as Jean-Luc Picard.

That might be interesting.

Baseball

My Pirates are still in the playoff picture.

Think good thoughts.

Dogs

When I went around the complex with Yodit Friday night I saw only one dog.

Bummer.

Colts

The Colts won their first preseason game last night.

More importantly, Andrew Luck did well.

Novel

I submitted another novel to another agent yesterday.

We'll see.

Notre Dame

Ball State plays Notre Dame in football this season.

Wow,

Early

My aide came an hour early this morning.

It worked out fine, but it's still annoying.

Blown Shifts

My daytime aide company blew five of six shifts this weekend.

Very poor performance.

Gabby

Yesterday, my aide Gabby stayed until the next aide arrived so I wouldn't be alone with the plumbing guys.

She's a really nice young woman.

More Plumbing

The plumbing guys are still here.

Today should be the end.

Plumbing

Guys are here checking the plumbing today.

It's always something.
