Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 2:00 a.m. in "The City."

There is no joy in Beantown nor in GH, as my beloved Red Sox fell to the Cleveland Indians by a final score of 4 - 5 last night. Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello was not on his game and the Indians had his number as baseballs were leaving the yard, as though drawn to the outfield seats like moths to a flame. We'll get them today @ 4:00 p.m. EDT.

Earlier yesterday, the Blue Jays handily dispatched the Rangers by a lopsided score of 10 - 1. Rangers' ace Cole Hamels was definitely not on his game as the Blue Jays could do no wrong. Game two today @ 1:00 p.m.EDT.

The first game of the NL post-season series between the Dodgers and the Nats is later today @ 5:30 p.m. EDT. I'm rooting for the Dodgers just because.

Finally, the Cubs return to post-season action tonight against the Giants as they open their post-season play @ 9:00 p.m. EDT. As a Die-Hard and long-time Cubs fan, I have just one wish.

Yesterday was a mostly quiet day here at the PE. No trains, a walk with STWD, and rainy weather that kept me indoors reading. I never played with the girls so as not to disturb Mary's work. I sing and play too loud for her to concentrate. The index goes out today and then I can get back to my regular schedule after assisting in the final editing. I did manage to finish a large-print novel in about three hours.

Mary has been taking early morning walks without me and the intrepid one so that she can put in a full day of indexing. I get up and stumble through the morning rituals in my usual slow and steady fashion. Not that I am literally slow, but she is all the way downtown and back before I have even focused my eyes. Sugar is ambivalent. She likes to have both of us together on the morning safari, but she can also be easily persuaded to take it easy. She will also be disappointed that she will be done with the morning pill ritual for her insect bite. I have been using almond butter to disguise the pill. Sometimes I wonder if she is like my grandmother's old dog who only ate cooked ground sirloin,

We do have a chiropractor's appointment later this afternoon. I think I've been spending too much time in our Michigan basement with its low ceiling height. I have to mostly walk around in a bent over fashion down under, as the ceiling is about six feet and I am about six feet four inches tall. I am going to ask the doctor to give me a good working over.

We have a current temperature of 67° under cloudy skies. The NWS has forecast that there may or may not be T-storms right about now, but I have neither seen nor heard any evidence of them. STWD is sleeping soundly next to the bed, so I am going with her forecast. The NWS has also forecast today's high will be 68° with a 50% chance of showers off and on throughout the day. This being GH, who knows.

The trains may or may not pass by too. They generally run on Mondays and Wednesdays, but Fridays may or may not be on their schedule. I guess I'll know later.

The sun will rise today @ 7:49 a.m. and set @ 7:14 p.m. Ciao.
