Late this afternoon, Melissa and I attended a get-together in rural southwestern Alachua County celebrating the successful adoption of two little boys, brothers, into one of our church's families. The location was way out in the country, the landscape dominated by vast cow pastures and wetlands. Just outside the lodge where our party was being held is a pretty wetlands area...look at the picture. Didn't see any gators, though...
And right now I'm toggling back and forth on my television between the World Series and the Major League Soccer playoffs...see the other two pics. So far game number five between the Indians and Cubs has been close and exciting...if Chicago can't hang on (they're currently leading 3-2 in the bottom of the 7th inning in Wrigley Field), Cleveland will close out the series 4 games to 1 and continue the "Curse of the Billy Goat" for the Cubs, who haven't won a World Series since 1908. Meanwhile, I've been watching the divisional semifinal round in the soccer playoffs: right now it's the Seattle Sounders playing at home against Dallas. Well, those are the two major sports I'm following right now...as I've mentioned before, I'm boycotting the "Anti-American" Football League (see link: [link])...
