Last night was cold. This morning isn’t much better despite the sun. The furnace is blasting so I’m comfy. That’s all that counts.

My Red Sox are going to the World Series. They beat the Astros and Verlander last night 4-1 which is also how the series went. The Sox lost the first game but won the next four, three of them in Houston. David Price pitched a gem of a game. I was excited and jumped up to cheer. It woke Henry.

When I was a kid, boys Played baseball and girls played softball. My brother was on a farm team, and I’d sometimes go to his practices with him. I remember we were at the East School field when my brother’s coach asked me if I wanted to play as he was down a couple of players. I was thrilled. I don’t remember what base I played, but I do remember hitting. I hit a double, a single and a triple, one short of the cycle. The coach was amazed that a girl could hit so well. I wasn’t offended. Those were the days of girls doing girly things and boys doing what boys do and never the twain shall meet.

My cleaning couple came yesterday. They loved my Halloween creatures all of which are now in the living room including the one which scared Henry. My favorite creature is the ghoulish one. His eyes flash and his head moves back and forth, but the best part is creepy music plays, and he moans in the eeriest way. Vibration triggers all of the sounds and the head movements. I wish I could explain that to Henry. He runs and all of a sudden the music starts and the creature moans. Henry barks until the moaning stops.

My laundry is done, the bird feeders are filled, my house is clean, the plants are watered and the trash is in the car. I have no lists. I am at sea.
