Busy few days, as usual. I am very glad that I will be getting quite a bit of time off of work this month due to holidays and vacation days.
Yesterday we went to Battle Creek for Steven to weigh in for a big wrestling tournament. We stopped off and ate at an all you can eat buffet (Old Country Buffet) in Jackson on the way home. Now then, Steven is a skinny kid - but he still ate four plates filled up with food, and one partial plate, as well as a dessert.
Last night we fell asleep to the lovely silvery howls and cries of a pack of coyotes running through the neighborhood.
Today Dan and Steven went to Battle Creek for the tournament, and I stayed home and cleaned and took care of poor old Max dog...
I have already started to think about menus for the kids' birthdays (we will celebrate both birthdays next weekend; Bill is coming home from school for the weekend just for that) and for Thanksgiving. Some things are givens; other recipes will require shopping lists and ingredients we do not usually use.
And like all Detroit Tigers fans, my heart is broken by the freak injury that has quite likely ended relief pitcher Joel Zumaya's career. He is just a big kid, and still lives with his parents and younger brother in the off season, near San Diego. The wild fires came near their home (two miles) and Zumaya was moving around boxes when a heavy box fell on his shoulder and really did a lot of damage. He required major surgery. The local paper said yesterday that no player in the history of the MLB has ever made a good comeback from shoulder damage of that nature and degree and major surgery that severe.
