Well, I feel like I haven't slept a wink, having watched baseball till 11:30 (Pacific Standard) then for whatever reason, tossing and turning the rest of the night. It must have been the bothersome images I saw on TV from Texas. This time a Houston Stadium was filled to capacity with diamonds. Not the ones that make the bases on the field and the players run around and tag, but ones that were large and dripping from women's fingers and ears. I wonder what my aunt Cleo would have said about that, she who watched every Cubs game ever broadcast, wearing her little Cubs earrings. People would be robbed left and right at Dodger Stadium if they showed up with that much bling. And what was with the woman on her cellphone for THREE HOURS, bouncing up and down? She looked like she was talking someone through delivering a baby. And why did FOX feel the need to show her EVERY ten minutes? Yup, still on the phone. Game still tied. And of course the most bothersome image was Barbara "this is working very well for them" Bush, nodding off in her home plate seat. They finally took her away somewhere around the 12th or 13th inning and HALALUJAH, the Sox finally won the longest World Series game ever played. I will go through my day in a haze, but comforted that Chicago is a game away, and all central time zoners had less sleep than me.
