Catching up ...
1. Jacksonville's loss to the Texans cost me $20 by knocking me out of the company's football pool. You pick one team per week, and if you lose, you're out. And two people left after last weekend. Seven people got knocked out. So I have company.
2. Went to something called a "corn maze" and a "hay ride" in a location known as a "farm". Can you tell I'm a city boy?
3. I won't tell my farm boy/city boy joke with the punchline, "I can't shut the machine off, but don't worry, it's only set to one quart."
4. Nor will I tell my joke, "That's nothing. You should've seen the guy last week with the chicken."
5. Had spontaneous remission of cigar-smoking. Here's what happened: A week ago, I got a nasty, nasty cigar from my normal brand. I haven't wanted one since. And then once I stopped smoking regularly, my lungs decided to purge. Feel better and I'm disgusted by the idea of a cigar. Right now. All addictive states-of-being are subject to unscheduled and unannounced change.
6. Great World Series so far. Glad we can just sit back and enjoy a great battle between two storied franchises. It's the sporting equivalent of watching lesbian porn — you don't have to worry about the wrong camera angle suddenly grossing you out.
7. Full disclosure: The link in the post below does not refer to random strangers. There's history there. There's a pattern of behavior there. More later. Maybe. Or maybe not. Haven't made up my mind.
8. That's all. Have a good week.
