The DN



 All right. Enough about baseball. I wrote twenty items before the game started and predicted that the Dodgers would demolish the Giants. Kershaw/Hudson. It was a no-brainer. I zapped all twenty this morning. Tough stuff. 

2   Ah, it is what it is, and it will be what it will be. Kershaw is beyond extraordinary. As Bruce Bochy said, "I don't know if there's a more deserving MVP. These are 'stupid' numbers he's putting up." I credit Alex Pavlovic of the Merc News with coming up with that quote. I couldn't stay to watch. 


3   I must say the Giants have fought back at every turn all year. I continue to believe, but yeesh. 

4   Don't get mad...

5   Moving On, Part One: It's raining! Not a downpour but I walked out to get the paper this morning, felt the rain hit my neck, and said, "What the hell's THAT?"

6   Been awhile.

7   Pretty refreshing, all in all. 

8   Good times.

9   Even though it's the third day of Autumn, I have Spring fever already.

10  And yes, it IS okay to capitalize Autumn and Spring if you wish. It looks wussy if you don't. IMHO.

11  That's "In my humble opinion."

12  By Spring fever I mean I am ready to give everything that clutters my life the heave-ho. I went through my classroom with a sandblaster yesterday and threw away everything on and around my desk, and then proceeded to throw away almost the entire room. 

13   This morning I threw a bunch of clothes into a Goodwill bag and threw it in the garbage.

14   I don't know too many people who need soiled, ripped shirts. I don't need to trip over that bag of clothes for the next six months. 

15   Gone.

16    I swear. 

17    Ever bump into around three things in succession and then yell the "s" word at the heavens?

18   That's me this week. 

19   I hope to dump about sixty thousand shirts the second I'm done writing this nonsense.

20   You know you need to clear your closet when every time you go in there fifteen hangers fly at you, and your pants slide off three or four more.

21   "Maybe you could have a yard sale and make some money?"

22

23   I'm a grumpy teacher. I haven't time to be polite to strangers. 

24   Bleh.

25   Anybody lookin'?

26

27   Nah, I'm chill.

28   Just kidding.

29   I DID give my classroom a complete makeover though. 

30   Got rid of large items. 

31   I wasn't the only one doing it. 

32   Back-to-School Night does that to a person. It's like you're having company and suddenly need to re-vamp your entire house. 

33   It was tough doing it, but I did. The halls had a lot of old stuff in them. 

34   I talked with our amazing custodian Francisco yesterday afternoon, and he told me that all sorts of stuff is moving from one building to another. Different teachers need things, and old teachers want to dump everything but three pencils and a staple remover. 

35   AnywayZ...

36    It's anyway. No "s" and clearly no capital Z.

37    Grump, grump, grump.

38    Ah, I gottago.

39    I spent my morning throwing junk out. 

40    I throwing this junk out to anybody reading it.

41    I'm not really grumpy at all, just in a bit of a hurry.

42    Gottago early here. 

43    See you again. Enjoy the rain!

44    Peace.
