Happy November friends! November is National Blog Posting Month, or at least it has been in the past. The aim is to post on the blog every day in November. I feel up to the challenge, so that's my goal here this month. I will do my best to make checking in worth your while, and I also know that there will be days when it will be a struggle to be interesting.
I won't be starting the month off strong, I'm afraid. I'm watching Game 7 of the World Series. I don't think there are many things better in sports than Game 7 of the World Series, even if you don't really have a favorite team in the series. I am rooting for the Astros, even though I am typically a National League girl. I just don't like the Dodgers, even though I do like Clayton Kershaw. Right now it's the bottom of the fourth inning and the Astros are up 5-0. That sounds great but doesn't mean much because I've seen the Dodgers come back from deficits in this series. Still, go 'Stros!
This evening after work I took a walk around the outdoor track at the fitness center. I didn't have a chance to take a lunch break at work today, so I was glad to get outside. It was a beautiful evening here and it was very pleasant to stretch my legs and finish up my daily 10,000 steps. There probably won't be many more opportunities for outside walks in the evening since we will be turning our clocks back one hour on Saturday night. It will be dark here by 5:30 next week. The weather is getting cooler and cooler, too.
Okay, time to get back to the baseball game, but before I do, a quick follow-up to my last post about the shooting at the University of Utah. A couple of students were up at the mouth of Red Butte Canyon, over near the gate of the amphitheater from what I understand. They were sitting in their car and a bad guy wanted to carjack them. It went wrong and the bad guy shot and killed one of the students, then shot at the other student when she ran away to save herself. The bad guy must have been hiding out somewhere near the garden because that was where the majority of the search seemed to be taking place. What was scary about it is that most of the dorms are just below the gardens. The bad guy was found and arrested at the City Library the next afternoon. The man who died was an international student from China; his parent's only child. So awful.
Be safe, be kind and be thankful for all the good stuff in your life. Today I feel grateful for being able to walk a couple of miles outside, listening to music and for not feeling any pain in my knees.
Talk to you tomorrow!
