Week of 10/6/2013

Sunday - 10/6/2013
Today I completed a personal best for time lived on this earth as I reached the 69 year mark. It was really nice to hear from so many well wishers. Sports results for the day were mixed. The Broncos won a shootout with Dallas, but the Cardinals lost to the Pirates. Other than that the day was full weekend mode.

Monday - 10/7/2013
The highlight today was the Cardinals avoiding elimination and forcing a 5th game back in St. Louis on Wednesday. Nothing else was going on.

Tuesday - 10/8/2013
Today started off with the trip to Walmart to add to the pantry. I also picked up a roll of quarters to be prepared for the inevitable wash day tomorrow. Unloading the groceries I had another paper thin aluminum Dr. Pepper can self destruct which added another 30 minutes cleanup time to putting the groceries away. At least the spill was all on the floor and nothing hit the ceiling like last time. After that it was time to take the rest of the day off before I hurt myself.

Laundry this morning and a quick assist to Mike in reversing the refrigerator door opening in the rec hall. A nice quiet day. Then it was time for the Cardinals so we could move on to the next level. Mission accomplished.

Today very little happened, a trip to the Dollar Store for some batteries and while I was out a stop by a restaurant that everyone has been talking about. They are supposed to have really good breaded tenderloins. The lady behind the bar assured me they were real good, but the kitchen isn't open and won't be until October. I expect everything in the food department would be real good with the kitchen closed.

The day drug by waiting for the baseball game to start. When it finally did it became a marathon. Thirteen innings later and well after midnight the Cardinals finally broke the deadlock an won 3 to 2.  It was bedtime by the time the game ended.

Another good day in the world of sports. First, Missouri beat Georgia in football. Then the Cardinals won game two of the National League playoff. One out of the next three and we're off to the World Series. Needless to say with all that excitement I didn't stray far from the TV today. Well that and the fact that it was 98 degrees kept me in the air conditioning.
