Manchester and Valiant Efforts: Lady Lions, Fighting Irish

-Lady Lions win in five in the morning, lose in three in the afternoon.
-Notre Dame Fighting Irish trying to extend its 43 game winning streak against the Navy Midshipman. Late in the 4th, Irish have scored and tied the score at 28 apiece. And now overtime...
-watched a little of the ball game earlier with Marty; we both agreed that maybe ND has found its proper level of play where they can be competitive; that would be the military academies, Ivy League, the Delawares of the universe. I say go for it, Irish.
-Manchester (Goodbye, Darkness) and the US Marines (and US Army) are on Saipan having taken the measure of the Japanese at Guadalcanal and Tarawa (pronounced TAR-uh-wuh). Manchester has already made it clear that the Japanese will fight to the death, not only the soldiers that they run into but also the civilians who have been convinced that the Americans will not only kill them but eat them. (Yuk.)
-in case you missed it, another beautiful fall day.
