Notes to get a day started

The World:

-From WAPO: Kurds kill Turks, Americans kill Iraqis. Death on the move picking up souls whose lives have been arrested for unknown crimes. Dispatched to some better place or to no place - we just don't know though each of us will find out eventually, or not.

Sports:

-Red Sox beat the Indians in a 7th game which was great for seven innings, and head to World Series to face Rockies. Would have been fun to see the underdog Cleveland team advance. Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima - two guys from Japan, make super contributions on the mound. Cool.
-Houston loses to Tennessee but not after a 4th quarter that was everything a sports guy could ask for. A guy named Bironas kicks a record setting 8th field goal to give the Titans the win after the Texans had stormed back with 29 points in the 4th quarter to take a one point lead with less than a minute to play. Alas, that was way too much time. Fun to watch. I bet Tennessee did it on purpose just to give the fans in Houston a treat. Of course, most of them had already left after three quarters with their guys down, 32-7. Never give up. Never.
-Patriots' Moss looking super. Of course, I saw the highlights several times yesterday afternoon and he was still making those nifty catches for touchdowns over and over and over, time after time after time. He and Brady are clicking.
-Colts tonight. Has it been a long time since they last played, or what? Go Blue.

Weather, etc:

-Sunny and cool and nice. Time to go play golf. Which reminds me: kept my head absolutely still and my eyes on the ball (or a spot just this side of the ball) during my swing yesterday and actually hit the ball cleanly. Having to wear the glasses all the time is a bummer but I do like to see the far things.
