Chalk up another win for the Patriots

The Patriots managed to hold off the Chargers yesterday and win the game 24-27. Jones was outstanding and the defense once again stepped it up.

Of course, it didn't hurt that the Chargers did not seem to very focused on the game. There was more than one occasion where a Chargers receiver ran a route but never looked back to see if maybe the football was on target. As a matter of fact, one of those failures to look for the ball led to a Patriots interception.

Next Sunday they will face off against the Panthers at 1:00. Both teams are tied in the standings at 4-4 so it should be a pretty good game.


The Astros avoided going on vacation last night when they beat the Braves 9-5. The Braves lead the series 3-2.

They are on a travel day today and tomorrow they will play game 6 down in Houston.

Yes, I'm still hoping the Braves win.


We had about 50 kids show up looking for candy last night. The majority of them were little tiny kids. And when I say little, I'm talking about kids between 2 and 5 years old. And those kids were on cloud nine because they were collecting candy.

The neighborhood kids that know us all showed up and giggled like maniacs as they showed off their costumes. The prevalent costume ensemble appeared to be "police officer" with "weird alien" a close second.

We also had 15 or 20 teenagers show up, traveling in packs of 3 or 4. They were all very polite and having a really good time. One group consisted of three boys and three girls. The boys were being typical teenage boys, horsing around and playing grabass with each other. One of the girls looked at me, sighed, rolled her eyes and said, "I apologize for them. They're boys."

All-in-all, it was a good Halloween with a lot of laughter and no problems.


No sports tonight so I guess I'll be watching my DVRs.
