In case you missed it, St. Louis won the World Series, officially ending the 9-month baseball season. It’s starting to look like there’ll be no NBA this year (are these people really that stupid? Seems like everybody’s leaving an awful lot of money on the table), though I’m only slightly more interested in pro basketball than I am in baseball. Too many games that don’t eliminate enough teams from the playoffs, so any individual game is all but meaningless. Plus the players look bored most of the time. But I suppose if we still had an NBA team here, I’d feel a lot different.

As I have no life and am up at stupid hours in the morning (up at 3:45 this morning – on a damn Saturday, ferchrissakes), I watch a lot of DIY and HGTV (which are actually infomercial channels way early, which I don’t watch – ‘cuz when I do, I wind up buying something like the Kreg Pocket Hole jig or the Rockwell Jawhorse). So, anyhow, I’m watching ‘Disaster DIY’ (which is a show where a contractor dude goes and helps clueless people finish projects; being clueless myself, I enjoy this). Anyhow, so I’m watching one this morning, and the wife is trying to get her husband to finish his project – in particular, to get the bathroom finished – and she says, “as a woman, I need a bathroom.” Now, granted, dudes have more options available but still, as a man, I, too, need a bathroom. Especially at this time of year.

Speaking of this time of year, I reckon it’s time to get the tire chains on the tractor. Hopefully that’ll stave off the snow for a while.
