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.

Righteously exhausted. Helped the wife pack, label, and prepare 3 BIG boxes to ship to the Philippines. Physically drained me much more than I expected. Whew! Bet I sleep well tonight!
Also, that sore tooth was much less bothersome today. Good news, that.

Really enjoying the Texas Aggies vs Missouri Tigers game, now playing through the 3rd Quarter. When this game ends I'll have the IU Hoosiers vs Northwestern. Go Hoosiers!! And after my afternoon of college football, I'll have the Saturday Night Svengoolie showing a double-feature of scary movies. A pretty good day in the Roscoe-verse.
Oh, that sore tooth is still a bother, but not nearly as much today as yesterday. Thank GOD for that!

Relaxing through this Friday evening, listening to College Football, Houston Cougars vs the TCU Horned Frogs. Nice.
Also nursing a sore tooth that's been bothering me all day. Not nice.

About the only productive things accomplished today were: 1.) hauling the blue recycle bin out to the curb for collection by the city, and 2.) mowing part of the front yard. I didn't tackle the entire front lawn, much of it didn't really need any work. But I got to what needed doing.
NFL football is on my schedule for tonight. I'll be listening to the Westwood One Radio broadcast of the Buccaneers vs the Falcons, kickoff at 7:15 PM. Hopefully I'll be able to catch the entire 1st half of play before I get too tired and have to head to bed.

A pretty good Tuesday for this 1st day of October.
I've got MLB Wildcard games keeping me company today. Earlier this afternoon I heard Detroit beat the Astros, and as we move into the evening I've got the Brewers and Mets tied in their game.
One chore that has needed doing for the longest time was taken care of this afternoon. I replaced the battery in my big laptop. Feel particularly good about that.
