It’s been a day or two.

Work seems to be ramping up while the temperatures are dropping.

Signs of fall

These looked relatively easy to make, not horrible for you, and topical. But just-in-time learning can result in missteps here and there. Nothing too bad, but pretzels in the refrigerator overnight lose their crispness.

Our group of seatmates plus a few watched 4 of the 5 games together. Game 1 was a great game. It was close, including a comeback. The other games were fun, each with their own highs and lows. We all watched Game 4, but separately. Halloween as well, so each to their own treats.

Game 5. Back to our house with the gang. Indian food, treats, leftover candy, and Baseball!

A Diamondbacks no-hitter through 6 innings. And then Seager. Seattle had a Seager once. But he was shorter and a bit older, and is now retired. For those who don’t follow baseball, which is probably most of my readers, the Texas Rangers took game 5, to win the Series 4 to 1. They deserved it based on the way the 2 teams played. Their first World Series title ever. The Mariners are the only team to never have made it to the World Series, much less win.

However, the evening was marred in the 8th inning with the news that one of our friends, and a really great baseball buddy, had passed away. Apparently, just as the game was starting. It was on in his telly. He was battling a recently diagnosed disease, but this was not expected 😕 😔

Dan Dixon, a few days past 63.

Carl was scheduled to go to Eugene in 1 week to hang with Dan and be a helper. We were supposed to go to Portland to get Dennis for a baseball game, 2 days after he died. I really hate this pattern!
