I more than welcome your cheerleading. And I thank you for getting my reluctance to celebrate too soon. 2 Wins to go....that's my focus (as I'm sure its the focus of the team).

Greetings, Cadre. Another smooth as silk shave today. It’s unseasonably warm at 76F/24C, clear sunny skies. Errands done, now it’s time for me to slow down, though it’s unlikely that anyone can tell the difference. 😀

MNF turned out to be enjoyable after a frustrating first half. Steelers got the win, and sit alone in first place in the AFC North, just one game ahead of the Evil Stinking Ravens (once were the Pathetic Cleveland Browns, so they deserve the extra vitriol). Steelers have a bye next, followed by six of nine remaining games against division teams. The season will be interesting in the second half.

Enjoy the day. 👍

I held my breath several times last night.....Mookie getting mugged by Yankee fans was one such moment. I think it was inevitable that the Yankees would get a win.....I just didn't expect them to pile on so hard. But that game renewed the Dodgers focus. I'm not worried.....1 win...that's all they need. The Yankees (and their brutish fans) can go pound sand.

I'm looking for Freddie Freeman to lead the charge....followed by Mookie.

Go Dodgers!!!

Good shave this morning, though the blade was scraping at the end, so it’s done. Was delighted to see the Dodgers beat the Evil Yankees last night. Everyone should go over to The Heysi Missive to congratulate Steve on his team’s victory. 😃

Nice shave with the new blade earlier today. Was up early this morning to get some bloodwork done, but I could have used another hour’s sleep. It a wonder that I got through this busy day. 😬
 
Your wish is granted! It will be delivered tomorrow night.
Thank you, kind sir! I’ll need it - I have another too darned early appointment Monday at 8am. 😱

A most satisfying Saturday afternoon shave. Football’s on but Penn State’s losing late in the game. @Majorrich should be quite happy. Oh well, such is life. On a brighter note, last night I ran into a friend who I hadn’t seen in years. Nice to get reconnected. 👍 Enjoy your weekend, Cadre.

Forgot to post this last night, after my 8:30pm shave. It followed an enjoyable Zoom call with gentlemanly Cadre folks. Nice chat with good people. I shaved last night for my 8am audiology appointment this morning. I’ll be getting new hearing aids in a few weeks, once the ear casts are used for the new (for me) molded aids. I’m looking forward to it, as are those nearest to me! 😆

A gracious good day to you all. We’re enjoying perfect weather today in Pittsburgh with 76F/24C now at 1:30pm, going up to 80F/27C later. Very unusual for the first week in November, but such is life.

I’ll grant you that, but since taxes pay for these things, I’m happy my county doesn’t have to print up new ones for every election. 😜

A comfortable shave today. Plus I cracked open a new bottle of aftershave. Woo Hoo! 🍾🥳

Have a great day, Cadre!

Smooth Friday shave. This is Day One of me trying to “wear the world as a loose garment ”. That probably won’t make sense to many of you, but it essentially means putting the world’s concerns, worries, etc., aside as much as possible in order to live more at ease. My wife, and a friend since jr high yesterday said things to me that reconnected me to this saying that I first learned 30+ years ago.

Have a great day, Cadre! 👍

Happy Saturday, one and all! An overcast fall day here, but comfortable at 54F/12C. Sitting at home, sipping decaf coffee, and watching Indiana handle Michigan 17-3 at halftime, which is good. Michigan is out out playoff contention at 5-4, while Indy is undefeated at 9-0. My father grew up in Indianapolis, and I have many cousins there, so I’m rooting for them to make a run in the playoffs. Icing on the cake is their one time QB was Antwon Randel El, who was for many years a Steeler halfback who threw a TD pass in SB40. This makes the circle complete.

Enjoy the weekend, Cadre. 😊

A gracious happy Veterans Day, Cadre. A quiet day here for me, hope your day has gone well. A real nail biter of a Steelers’ game yesterday, but we won so life is good. 👍🏈
