Thank you, Shadesong. Whippersnapper that she is, young Shadesong has finally shamed me into trying this Live Journal thing ... but only after constant reassurances. She's such a charmer.

So here I sit on a bright sunny Autumn morning. I've got the VCR running in the background as Annorien watches the shows she missed - Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and Enterprise. Tomorrow I'm going to have to reset the VCR to catch all our shows as I will be at classes all week - Angel, Everwood, Buffy, Smallville, Enterprise, Firefly, and John Doe. I'm ready for Birds of Prey to start - the premise is intriguing and I hope they do as good a job with it as they have with Smallville, i.e. minimal gee-whiz factor and more character and story building.

The time has finally arrived to change eyeglasses. Today's schedule calls for a visit to the ophthalmologist and new prescription glasses. After putting it off for over a year, it's bi-focal time I guess. Constantly having to take my glasses off to read, then put them back on to 'see', then take them back off again to read, is getting ridiculous. Can't wear contacts because my eyes are too sensitive to having anything in them. So - time to 'baby' my eyes once again. Hate it as I do, it's so much nicer seeing individual leaves on trees than an indistinguishable green mass.

Dinnie sits on my terminal screen admonishing me that with age comes wisdom ... and stronger glasses.

Later, y'all.

Hey, you root for your teams that didn't make the post-season, and I'll root for mine. :-)

I must admit that the Mets were pathetic this year, while Boston and Houston were merely disappointing. If only I could bring myself to seriously root for an AL team, I could be a disappointed Mariners fan, instead of just a disgusted Mets fan.

Anyhow, when I get a chance, I intend to make a Grateful Dead/NY Islanders icon to use for the next six months or so. :-)

I, too, must admit disappointment with Boston and Houston. On a lark, I'd put money on both teams to win their respective pennants when I was in Las Vegas this past spring. Ah well ... there's always next year.

I love the idea of a Grateful Dead Red Sox or disAstros logo. That's pretty kewl. Me - I'm limited to pencil drawing m'self.

Here you go. I used the Sox because it looks a lot better with a round logo.
