Back to the grind

I rented a few CD's from the library on Friday. I made sure to get a Merle Haggard record. I needed songs with titles like If We Make It Through December, Working Man Blues and I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink.

Anyway, the Mets did get the sries tied at 2-2. I give a lot of credit to Oliver Perez. I pitcher with plenty of stuff and not much control, he didn't dominate, but he gave the Mets a chance to win. And against Anthony Reyes, Brad Thompson, and Josh Hancock, a chance was all the Mets needed. 12-5 win and Game 5 is tonight. Or it's scheduled to be tonight as heavy rain is forecasted for St. Louis. Rain would suit me fine as Tom Glavine would get an extra day of rest, which he would sorely need. 40 year olds pitching on three days of rest isn't the greatest idea.

Jets win, Giants win. Cool.

Got swept in volleyball by the best team in the league. Two games were close and one was an absolute joke. Most of my hitting in the first two games was not good. My serving did get better as the game progressed. But I hate lobbing a serve in. I want my serve to be hard and consistent, a weapon if you will.

I'll be getting the new Mindy Smith record this week. By the end of October, I'll have a review and let you know what I think of her follow-up to "One Moment More."
