This is always one of the busiest parts of the year for me. All because of sports.
First, the Packers and Lions are playing football, and both are doing very well this year (4-0 at the moment). Then, the Brewers and the Tigers are both in the baseball playoffs. Both teams are 2-1 right now and can end their series later tonight. (But the Brewers' game doesn't start until 8:30. :Sigh!: A late night. Maybe I'll try to grab a nap before I have to head out to cover girls volleyball.)
Then, the new NHL season starts on Thursday night. Back to Hockey Night in Canada and the NHL games on Versus. But hockey will only get limited attention until the World Series is over.
More sports is part of my job, covering the local sports scene. Work was very busy last week--I had the U.P. tennis finals, the cross-county volleyball match and the latest wins for both our football teams.
This week, not so much. I've just got volleyball tonight and then football on Friday night. Both are right here in town, so I get to save a little gas.
The big local news is that we finally have a sunny week. The last few weeks have been cool and rainy and windy, but this week it's just the opposite: Highs today are in the low 70s, and I probably could get sunburned in the middle of the day. This weather is about 10-15 degrees warmer than normal.
Our fall color is near its peak right about now. I ought to go out and get some pretty, new pictures before the warm spell ends and cool, gloomy weather arrives for a long, long, long stay.
:Sigh!: I'm not fond of winter.
