Another triple-digit heat day finds me staying indoors under the a/c. A mix of sports will be playing on my TV through the afternoon and evening to provide background to whatever I do here at the work table, whether it be reading or typing at the computer keyboard. I start with the Mets vs the Marlins MLB game, now in the 1st inning. That will be followed by an Indiana Fever WNBA game mid-afternoon. More MLB will follow the basketball game and will take me up to this evening's NFL Preseason Game.

This Saturday morning has started smoothly, I'm happy to note. All regular chores of the day have been accomplished already or remain with plenty of time to finish them easily. Plans are to follow NFL games throughout the day, and catch Svengoolie tonight before heading to bed.

Early today I won this CC game playing the Black pieces when I caught the White King in a Queen-Knight Combination Checkmate.

Laughing through an old episode of Big Bang Theory, looking forward to tonight's Thursday Night Football Game. And hoping that the NFL+ app doesn't weird out on me too terribly much tonight.

This Wednesday has been quiet and relaxing. Good. Just what I wanted after yesterday's chores. Now if only my Rangers could win this game against the Red Sox, that would be swell.

Doubling-up on the chores today I spent time in the back yard early afternoon picking up branches recently fallen from a big ash tree and stuffing them into the green organics bin for the collection day later this week. And now I've got my weekly laundry running through the machines in the garage.

Have just watched the local weather forecast, and have decided that tomorrow morning I'll try to get my weekly yard work taken care of. The worst of the heat is supposed to be from Wednesday through the weekend, so Tuesday morning is designated for getting things done outside.

After a full afternoon of following Preseason NFL games, I've switched over to MLB. Now listening to the LA Dodgers vs the Pittsburgh Pirates, the game already in the 7th inning. After this game is over I plan to switch over to a late Mets / Mariners game that will probably keep me company until bedtime.

Coming in a timely manner is the 2024 Novena for Our Nation. This is a 54-day Novena run again by Fr. Richard Heilman. I'll be completing my participation in this year's Annual Novena for Blessed Fr. Michael McGivney's canonization on Monday and my work in the Novena for our Nation begins on Thursday.

Early Friday afternoon, relaxing to the radio broadcast of the Cleveland Guardians Pregame Show ahead of their early afternoon MLB Game vs the Minnesota Twins. Plans are to follow an NFL Preseason Game tonight. There's a very good chance that I may grab a nap between the baseball game and football game.
