Mostly I was lying to myself, but if you take me at my word then I suppose I lied to you as well. For that I apologize. Mea culpa.
… and are you curious now? Do you wonder what horrible thing I said? Are you concerned about me? Do you think I need counseling? Prayer? A miracle?
Well, sure, I suppose I need those things. But it isn’t as bad as you think. Honest. (And this time you can trust me!)
I am still watching baseball!
Yes, you are reading me correctly. (Heh … rather than “correctly” I almost typed “you’re reading me write” which would have been awfully cute, but I didn’t write that and I’ll bet you are really glad about it!)
I said the season was over. I said I was done. And then the TV went back on and I found myself cheering on the rich old Yankees (to the chagrin of some family members and the happiness of others, I suppose). I couldn’t help myself. I do like Pettitte … great pitcher! … and I like the rest of the gang now that the Most Important Team is out until next year (when they’ll win it all!). So I’ll watch and cheer on the Yankees and boo and hiss the Marlins. (They are a fishy team and no one should trust them after the robbed the Giants. I say “give ‘em the hook!” I say “they stink!” I say “throw ‘em back!”)
But I’m also now moving toward football land. The 49ers had been looking poorly, but today was much better. Maybe they’ll make a comeback? Maybe they decided to help out the sad Bay Area that had set hopes on two baseball teams that somehow failed to reach their goals. I wonder. Or maybe they just finally woke up!
***My Exercise Plan …
isn’t as easy to keep as I had hoped. I thought five days a week was a reasonable goal. But I just don’t have five days that hold enough time (while I have enough energy) so I guess I’ll have to settle for four. Still, it’s better than what I’ve done over the past decade. No … two decades. No … three ….
