After almost 12 innings of baseball yesterday, I was exhausted. It's a good thing I own more than one Twins shirt.
I'll have to pace myself today with both the Rockies and Twins playing.

Got my Twins shirt and Homer Hankies ready to go.

It was interesting to see all the pink displayed during NFL games this weekend as part of "Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Not 'Breast Awareness Month' as one announcer described it)."

I've got my Vikings shirt on and I've been wearing my Vikings cap (Christmas present) and I'm ready for some football.

A great day

It's the last day of the regular baseball season and the Twins are tied for first place and the Rockies are in the playoffs. I may not have to put away my Twin's gear and I already have my ROCTOBER shirt waiting.
The Broncos are hosting the Cowboys and I have my Vikings shirt ready for tomorrow's Vike's-Packs game at the dome.
The weather here is crummy so I won't have any guilt in watching football and baseball on the tube this afternoon and tomorrow evening. Life is good.

I was just getting off the treadmill at the Athletic Club when it was announced that 2016 summer Olympics would be held in Rio de Janeiro. I guess I was rooting for Chicago but then I began to wonder if Chicago had lost the bid but was really the winner. It reminded me of when I ran for the school board and lost but less than a year later I realized how lucky I had been. The present board just keeps creating more unnecessary messes for itself.
But back to the Olympics: Rio, with almost a caste system between the poor and the wealthy, will have to pony up around 10 billion dollars by early estimates. The venues and housing are just part of the problem. The Olympics can't be run like Beijing's, which is a repressive communist country where monies could be diverted to wherever the country wanted and the consequences of the games to Chinese citizens was never a concern.
Security will be a big issue. Even Athens, which is sort of a democratic junta, spent billions on just that item. Would Americans be willing to give up their way of life for the honor of hosting athletes from around the world. Interesting-in recent polls only 47% of Chicago's residents favored being the Olympic host verses almost 87% in Rio.
Price: Yes, it would put a lot of people to work but the payback is way in the future.
I guess I wonder: Did Chicago lose or just dodge a bullet?
