Roscoe's Quick Notes

Enjoying a quiet, relaxed Sunday. Luckily I worked through the day's chess games in relatively short order. Moved in all pending games in less than an hour, and that left plenty of time keep up with the Sunday prayer regimen.

Happily listened to IU's Women's Basketball Team win their game against Stanford earlier this afternoon. Now I'm listening to the Kansas City Chiefs playing the Buffalo Bills, the game just moving into the 2nd Quarter. Go Chiefs!

And keeping with my trend of following popular sports, I'll probably tune in the Sunday Night Football game. Hopefully I'll be able to catch the first half before heading to bed. We'll see.

My entertainment focus for today is on two men's college basketball games and one “scary” movie. The 1st game is already completed, and I was glad to see Notre Dame beat Georgetown. My 2nd game is now underway, IU vs South Carolina. Go Hoosiers! Tonight Svengoolie will be showing my “scary” movie: Dr. Phibes Rises Again.

Last night I stayed up past my regular bedtime following an NFL game and had one of the best sleeps in several weeks. Tonight I'll try something similar. Though there are no football games for me, I do have access to Big Ten basketball games tonight that can keep me up. We'll see if this Friday night's sleep can match Thursday's.

Listening to Thursday Night Football, Commanders vs Eagles, and the game is as good as I hoped it would be. Heck, I usually head to bed at halftime of this night game, but here I am in the last part of the 3rd Quarter with a 10-6 score thinking I might stay up until the end. Yes, the eyelids are getting heavy, but... I don't know. we'll see.

Listening now to the live radio play-by-play of tonight's women's college basketball game between the IU Hoosiers and the Butler Bulldogs. Also watching a stat sheet for this game being updated in real time. The announcer calling the game is doing a pretty good job, and having the stats is a nice touch. All things considered, I'm enjoying following the game this way.

Spent a fair amount of time this afternoon and evening following women's college basketball via the Big Ten Plus app. My goodness, there's quite a bit of disparity in the level of play between many of the teams!

Well, I made it to halftime of the Monday Night Football game (barely) before the brain totally shuts down for the night. That's usually the best I can do, and tonight I've done it.

Good night, all. See you tomorrow.

Sunday evening and another mostly restful day winds down. Watched some NFL football today, and some IU Men's basketball, read a bit more in that series of novels I've been working through. And I dug an appliance out of the garage that was purchased over a year ago and never used, assembled it this afternoon, and have it ready to use... whenever, probably tonight or tomorrow. We'll see.

Whoa! This Saturday almost got totally away before I put up this quick note. It has been a pretty good day, though once again I ate far too much food. I'm afraid the bathroom scales are going to mock me in the morning.

Glad that Purdue lost their football game today, and glad the Hoosiers won their game. Tomorrow I may have two NFL games to watch and one IU men's basketball game. Gonna try to catch all three.

While charting the college football and basketball games with live radio broadcasts today, I'm delighted to find quite a selection of both from which to choose. 1st basket ball game will air at 3:00 PM, and there many more basketball and football games listed throughout the afternoon, into the evening, and lasting until well past my bedtime. Cool!
