CHASE POTVIN GETS ACCEPTED TO SETON HALL

Just got a call from Chase "I've been accepted to Seton Hall!" It is meaningful because Dad and Uncle Ben are SHU Alumni! The next good news is Egg Nogg is now in the market. I love egg nogg and will have a daily cup full. Heidi likes egg nogg, so I'll get some for her. This day was nice. I spent $65.85 at Hannaford so I won't starve to death. Didn't shave my fu Manchu. Maybe tomorrow? Enjoyed the early dark by reviewing my weather memoirs. May send a select group to Pete Bouchard of NBC10?

TWO CARS NEED AN OIL CHANGE

 With Ken's Citgo no longer changing oil I wonder who might be available in the Brookfields? This first day of Standard time brings about change.  I slept longer and decent. It will take some adjusting. My deadline for making the change for a Fu Manchu is tomorrow. Little Evie says, "leave it on, Pops."  The fickle weather patterns leave me breathless as Jerry Lee Louis sings! I forgot to ask Ben if he received the obituaries on JLL? Should be a good parade in Houston tomorrow. Full moon!

HOUSTON ASTROS WORLD CHAMPIONS

 The Houston Astros have won the World Series! I opted to watch the entire game at the suggestion of Josh. It was a good game and the Astros deserved to win. The day was full. My full beard was transformed toa Fu Manchu. I have been given two days before I decide whether I want to keep it. My national grid bill came in again "No payment due. I must be doing something right." Had an abbreviated campfire on Birch Hill.

MADDIE NEEDED A RIDE HOME FROM QUABAUG

 I received a call from Josh while at the Legion! Maddie needed a ride from Quabaug. She was stranded at school with her bags. "Bobby to the rescue!" It was my honor to pick the girl up and bring her to home at Birch Hill. I returned to the Post and visited briefly with Jeff Nickerson. I enjoyed the World Series Game between Philadelphia and Houston who won! Next game Saturday night in Houston with the Astros leading 3-2. Getting my "growth trimmed" tomorrow by Josh. Tempted to remove it!

A WORLD SERIES NO-HITTER!

 I wasn't aware of a no-hitter being thrown until I watched a repeat of the game this afternoon! The thought of Mr. Leach playing Don Larsen's perfect game on the PA system at North Brookfield High School in 1956!  Today was mild. I had an orthopedic nurse come and have me do some exercises. Josh was busy with his daughters. The days are getting darker by 5:00 pm!  The moon is about half size at this point. My Friday will be to Tony's Cleaners - Spencer. Hope to attend the American Legion in the afternoon!

THE INVITATION FOR A BEER

 Josh invited me to come over to Birch Hill for a beer! O'Doul's. I had completed my food shopping and laundry and it was 4:00 PM.  and the invitation sounded good. I recalled Josh saying, "and you know how I like potato chips".  I bought a Family Size of Lay's, and this is where the blog begins. The bag of chips was devoured in an hour and Josh ate most of it! Our visits usually cover a myriad of topics. Chase got an e-mail from Seton-Hall University on his application and the race has begun.  There are probably a dozen applications in the mail! I told Josh I wanted his opinion on my beard! Both Chase & Josh like it!

NOVEMBER 1 2022

A new month with meaning. It seems the new month brings about new meaning. The moon is waxing and will be full in a few days. The mood is good as the World Series is tied and will probably go a full seven games. My day was OK with two nurses coming in for exercises. I didn't go far. Spoke with Josh but that's it. Tomorow's weather is promising and maybe good for several days?
