Aww, man, I just realized that baseball's over for the year. Like, completely over over.

We're just going to do this "Cubs" thing 108 days in a row to celebrate, right?

Well, they really did it.

I'm ready to watch the big sporting event tonight! The Toledo Rockets at Akron Zips game is going to be the kind of matchup between two 2nd place Mid-American Conference teams that people wait a whole lifetime to see.

Hope everyone had a productive night. We had two separate candy runs (even involving costume changes).

Anyway, we're now entering the holiday season. Vendors can freely shill lighted trees and blast "Jingle Bells" with impunity. Have fun with that.

Did I get you?

Halloween snuck up on me this year. Not that it's here yet, but you know.

I've kind of gained a bit of a belly - it's as simple as beer and late-night cravings - so I've been successfully avoiding both things for about a week. If anyone here has worked off a belly in the past, I'm all for words of encouragement and advice. I'm not out of control by any means; I'm 5'11" and about 185 or so, so I know others have struggled from a much higher point than I, but I just don't feel like myself some days.

The Wolves were up 16-1 at one point last night. Oh well...I'm still bullish on them. I'll be at the home opener next Tuesday if any other Citizens are making it.
