Could the Red Sox do it again?

Yes, I stayed up to watch the end of the game last night while Mrs. FL went to sleep. It was a great game and I am glad we won. Mrs. FL did not give me confidence that we could make it, so now I will be up into the wee hours of the night watching baseball.

It seems like just yesterday we were watching the 2004 series in our crappy, mold infested apartment in the Bay area and look at us now. Living in a spacious house, yet still with its own rough edges. Mrs. FL and I are still learning the joys of home repair. I spent a good hour or two under our house trying to fix our pipe for the ice maker that no longer exists (in an attempt to be more green). Yep, we got an energy star fridge and over the next couple of years it will pay for itself in utility savings...too bad that it cost us this year's energy savings to get the pipe fixed by a plumber. I am beginning to wonder why go to college when you can get paid $100's of dollars an hour to fix houses.

Needless to say, I still enjoy my TA job. It is very interesting and challenging in a way that designing a "creation relay" today was not. I enjoy working with people who are going to come to class and if not I get to say "hey, that affects your grade," not "oh we really missed you this week." Soon enough I will get the papers and I will have a new perspective on the job and yet it is great being back in the world of thoughts and ideas. I do feel good there.

Back to reading for class and wondering what if anything will change undecided voters tonight in the debates.
