I had a wonderful weekend hanging around the house and working - I painted the hallway, did some repairs to some kitchen appliances, hung pictures in the den, and spent some quality time with the wife.
When I moved to Houston a few years ago it seemed like the Astros got eliminated every year being down by one run with a man on third base and no one able to hit a simple fly ball. Yesterday was a really disappointing flashback.
My hopes are rather grim for tonight, especially with the Caminiti news weighing on the team, the fact that the Braves have ALL of the momentum and homefield advantage, and the Astros being, well, the Astros. I think I'm going for a run after work today and then I'm going into the garage to work on my new poker table project. I'll have the radio on, but my hopes won't be unecessarily high. No television for me - I might as well do something productive instead of sitting in front of the television.
