At ~09:30 this morning the home Internet went down in my neighborhood. At that time my ISP predicted the outage would last approx. 8 hours. Luckily they were able to bring us back online by ~12:30, so only 3 hours of actual downtime.

As I'm mostly a radio guy anyway, and a reader, this gave me a chance to put on a good music station and get some reading done. It turned out to be a pretty good morning for me, actually.

This evening I plan to follow some live college football. Of course, there's also the option of NFL's Thursday Night Football, but the college games appeal to me more.

After a quiet day I'm relaxing my way through the evening listening to live college football, Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers vs Sam Houston State Bearcats.

Winding down a pretty good Tuesday, listen to ESPN Radio's live call of tonight's ALCS Game #2 between the Yankees and the Guardians.

Working through a pretty good Monday. That one chore I always try to do on the first day of the week, my weekly laundry, is all done. Clothes folded and put away. And I'm relaxing to Game 2 of the NLCS, Mets vs Dodgers.

Relaxing my way into this Sunday evening listening to Fox and Father, a weekly conversation between two British friends that I find refreshing.

The NFL games I followed today were entertaining, for the most part. I'm glad the Bears won their game in London, and I'm glad the Colts won their game in Tennessee. The Colts / Lions game quickly devolved into such a blowout that I turned away from that at halftime.

This College Football Saturday I'm targeting two games to follow: with an 11:00 kickoff scheduled I'll listen to the Wisconsin Badgers vs the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, then with a 2:30 PM start I'll listen to the Stanford Cardinal vs the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

A good Friday, this: less stressful than many (most?) recent days. I'm in the process of realigning my blogging / social networking. This involves setting up a new blog, Roscoe's Thoughts, reducing my activity on another, and becoming more comfortable using my Substack.

A sure sign that it's time to put myself to bed. Sitting in my room, reading, and the Kindle keeps slipping from my fingers. Yep. It's time.

With one eye I'm following live reports from Florida re: Hurricane Milton, etc., as I've been been doing since mid-morning.

And with the other eye I'll be following the MLB Playoff Games starting with the Tigers / Guardians first (opening pitch minutes away), followed by the Mets / Phillies, then the Yankees /Royals, and as much of the Dodgers / Padres as I can before bedtime.

Patiently waiting for a Pregame Show to begin broadcasting for this evening's Mets / Phillies game. First pitch is scheduled for approx. 15 min. from now. I've tuned into both the Mets and the Phillies radio stations, and they're both just playing the same, lame holding music. Can't help but wonder WTF is going on.... Okay, finally call of the game.
