Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 12:30 a.m. in "The City."

I stayed up late to watch the Wolverines get defeated by the Utes of Utah, 17 - 24. I expected more than the same old same old, but I was disappointed. The Wolverines seemed out of sync and their defense seemed unable to stop the Utes from moving the ball. Most importantly, the Wolverines seemed unable to stop the Utes from scoring. Oh well, there is always another day and this isn't a conference game. But if Jim Harbaugh and his Wolverines want to beat the number one ranked OSU Buckeyes, they will have to get a lot better, and soon. It could be a long season.

Since I am on the subject of sports, the boys in blue are ready to face the Diamondbacks later today. I hope that their day off gave them the rest that they needed. They have a good team this year. Unfortunately, the Cardinals and the Pirates are in their division, so the boys are mired in third place.The Tigers fell to the Royals, 7 - 15. Ouch. My beloved Red Sox, like the boys, also had the day off on Thursday. The Caps easily handled the Ft. Wayne TinCaps, 7 - 1, as the Caps wind down their 2015 season. Here's hoping that the Spartans can do better against Western Michigan tonight.

Elsewhere in GH, I awoke yesterday morning and did my "Happy Dance." The rain was falling and that made a watering session unnecessary. All good by me. I should be good until Saturday. That allowed me time to make a stir fry for lunch after I walked with STWD between the rain drops. More rain/T-storms were expected, but they never materialized. No rain is in the forecast until Sunday, so if all goes according to plan, I may not have to water for several more days.

Later in the afternoon, Mary and I ventured forth to get a prescription for the intrepid weather dog's medications from her doctor. Then it was off to the local big box office supply store to fax those prescriptions to the pet medication provider and make a few copies of some music I wanted to add to my traveling music book. Afterwards, we stopped in at the Post and had a couple of adult beverages and then home to watch the Wolverines lose.

I am up to page 102 in my highlighting task, so that leaves me another 372 pages to go. It is still an interesting read, and that makes the task palatable. Plus, since I only have to use one color highlighter, I don't have hands covered in additional colors as I try to juggle three pens.

I'll return to highlighting today and place that copied music in my book after the morning walk.

Not much else was happening yesterday, nor is anticipated today. The sun set at the scheduled time last night, and it will rise this morning at 7:12 a.m. That same sun will set tonight, as expected, at 8:14 p.m. Ciao.
