Carol Slater visited with me for a while. The big news tonight is the Red Sox trailing the Tigers 3-0 in the fifth inning. Apple TV+ has claim for the broadcast.

DISAPPOINTING THURSDAY

 My Thursday didn't turn out the way I had hoped for! My weight came in at 148lbs. My mail was picked up but was not worth mentioning. The highlight came with a call from St. Louis University Didn't make any donation but did have a nice conversation with the caller. Tonight's Red Sox -Blue Jays was definitely lop sided with Toronto leading 6-1 in the Eighth Inning Spoke with Josh advising Little Evie has a Smart Phone. Tomorrow will see me do some banking then off to the Legion. Don't know what meal I will opt for? The next chance for the Sox will come this weekend with the Tigers. Josh will go to the game on Saturday.

 My Sunday was a day of victories!  The Patriots prevailed with a 33-27 victory over the opposition. It seemed the Pats were in command all the way. Josh came by with Miley and removed my Trash & "Dirty" Laundry. The anticipation of tonight's game between the Yankees & Red Sox set the tone with Boston scoring 6 runs in the First inning! It was exciting to see the Red Sox prevail over the Yankees. Spoke with Son Ben about his surgery on his ear.! He seemed satisfied things were "in the rear view mirrow1" Josh reminded me of a Tuesday appointment a at MGH. Everything today was a victory for me!

YANKEES DEFEAT RED SOX

The anticipation of a Red Sox victory came early for me. Chase Robert came by about noon all enthused about attending today's game with Josh. Somehow it just wasn't in the cards. The Town of West Brookfield had an enormous Flea Market on the Town Common. It seems the whole town of West Brookfield embraced Tag Sales. "No Thanks" I said. Tomorrow will see me watching Joel Osteen on Daystar and listening to Polkas on WARE. With the Sox down two against the Yankees I'm afraid of a sweep by New York! Such is life!

ROBERT LOUIS POTVIN

DIFFERENT FRIDAY

 My Friday was different! The big disappointment was the Red Sox-Yankee game wasn't on NESN. Instead, the game can be seen on Apple+ which I do not subscribe to. The Yankees are leading 2-0 in the Fourth. Did speak with Chase Robert who will be coming here tomorrow morning to pick up my $300 cash donation for tomorrow's game. Josh tried to call me twice but to no avail. The Legion was visited by me and was very quiet. I was going to take the Allante only to find a dead battery was at hand.

Bill was elected Campus King at St. Louis U. The loss for me is the biggest challenge of my life! RIP my friend & brother!
