Had some good conversation and laughs with old high school buddy Eben last night. He’s married to one of Jill’s cousins, coincidentally.
Maisa had a great time with their two kids. As a bonus, no one got hurt, which was a minor miracle.

Giants took a 3-1 series lead last night, beating Philly in the bottom of the ninth.
Good thing they did, too, because I was exhausted and ready to turn off the TV after that inning — win, lose or draw.
It hurts a little bit that the Giants are headed to an NLCS victory over the Phillies – considering that the Dodgers failed miserably in two NLCS appearances against Philly. Sigh.

CC Sabathia was too much for Texas in ALCS Game 5. This series appears headed to a Game 7, which would be Cliff Lee against Andy Pettitte. Now THAT would be fun to watch.
