Derf Here! From the soon-to-be sunny Northeast! September weather has been sensational so far. We had a little, brief showery evening and night with some strong winds. South of us in Kennebunk a tree fell on a house injuring a lady as she just went to bed. The storm has passed and the weather is improving as the weekly report looks good. Getting ready for the "leaf peepers" as reports have said the colors are appearing up in the mountains of New Hampshire and Maine. Shortly the leaves will leave the trees and we'll be waiting for winter. Ugh! Weatherman just said cold night tonight. Maybe a frost around!
Well, attended Josh's and Zack's football games last week. We'll leave it at that. 'Nuff said! Get the point? Hope for better results this week. Keep you posted.
A few weeks ago I mentioned Josh receiving a baseball award for his eighth-grade team. The award is named for a long time local baseball coach. The award is for ability, sportsmanship, and just being a contributing team member. You get the idea. Well finally, Josh got to receive his award a couple weeks ago. At the time pictures were not available, but we now have a picture with coach Phil Martin. We've known Phil and his family for 40 years. Our kids went to school together. Also worked as a soccer official with Phil for several years. Umpired several of his baseball games in my earlier years. Great to see Josh get such a prestigious award named for a dedicated coach. Congratulations again Josh! Enjoy the photo.
Well, the Red Sox are eliminated from the playoffs. They are now on a roll. Won two in a row. Seem to be spoiling Tampa Bay hopes. Maybe, just maybe, if we're lucky, they can knock the Yankees down a bit. Probably won't happen, but I can still hope.
The Patriots started the season off well as they lost their second game. Had a chance to win, but didn't deserve it. I was hoping for an undefeated season. Wait till next year. Tough game this week against the Ravens. My prediction is another loss. Congratulations to the family members in Indianapolis as the Colts and Andrew Luck won a game. Way to go!
I'm back on the elliptical machine this week as I must again get serious about getting fit. So much for getting old and out of shape. Both seem to come easy!
Enough for now! Soooo!
Until next time!
Toodle Pip!
