Frightening Bride!

Spooks are coming. It's getting closer to Halloween and the decorations are starting to show up at your local place of shopping and retail. I was walking into one said place and happened to see this little adorable spook. It's no Annabelle, but it still spooked me. That's why I took a picture: so I can treasure it in the dark nights of autumn.

Boo!

After Win Tonal

I haven't talked about the Baltimore Orioles in a while.

I went to last Friday's game against the hated Yankees. We won. But it felt like too little too late.

I have no confidence in the team making it into the post season. I didn't reserve post season tickets. They were available to season ticket holders a week ago and will still be there until mid-week. I'm not wanting to buy because it will mean believing in the team. I haven't believed since the all star break. I would love to but...

So they kept winning through this weekend and won again today. They are making a play for the division as the season wanes. I'm still questioning my decision.

Let's go Orioles!

Happy Holidays!

Xmas Decorations

These are silly decorations. Christmas has silly decorations. Decorations are silly. But they brighten up the night. I wish I wasn't lazy so that I would put up some decorations myself. Not these. These are too silly.

Wreaths at rest

I can't help but think of my dad...

I'm sure he would've been proud of me...

I'm sure he would also be repeating his last words to me...

I miss him so but more during the holidays for his heartwarming laugh. Like Santa!

Wreaths at rest

The wreath is hung on the door. It's getting to be Christmas. Except the weather's been mild -- not too many cold days and too many warm days. At least it's December.

I'm too lazy to hang holiday lights. I haven't put up my miniature Christmas tree since '08 or '09. I still do the wreath on the door. And I will play some Christmas Music.

Xmas Bush

Lights go up. It's almost Christmas time. Breaking out the cash to pay for the presents. Who gets what? Who doesn't get anything? Those who give. Those who receive. I can't believe this, I'm ready for snow.

#NationalHotDogDay

I was thinking about cooking hot dogs for dinner tonight. That was before I heard on the radio on the ride home that it was National Hot Dog Day.

YAY!

Four Nathan's franks boiled on the stove with mustard and onions.

YAY!

As ol' Brent Steinberger said, "I never met a hot dog I didn't like."

It's cold, and there is snow on the ground. I'm also drinking a milkshake, and the thermostat is set at 63 F (that's a blog post for another time). I'm cold. It's cold this year. There's another Polar Vortex on the way. Throw on some blankets and huddle down.

I'm purposely posting everyday to get me to Little Christmas as the eastern Church would call it. Here's a shot from the Ice! ice show at National Harbor south of DC.

It was a cold, cold experience even though today's temperatures reached into the 50s. I wore my Patagonia Better Sweater, a hat, and a scarf, yet the provided parka they gave to you help insulate me more. Unfortunately, I did not have gloves and it got cold. After a bit, I wanted warmth.

This is a reminder that over the Holidays there are some things to do besides eat, sleep, and watch television.

Get up.
Go out.
Enjoy the winter!

Metropolitan baseball nine 1882 (LOC)

Getting ready for the season? Here's a picture from the Library of Congress of the Metropolitan Baseball Nine. I think these are the Mets of yore. They look imposing, but I'm sure they were a knock over. Same as the current Mets. Baseball is baseball.

Bored

iOS 6 has got a panorama mode camera. Here's where I've been locked up for the last few years. I am bored. And I am sick today. Just watching television...

Hofbrauhaus

It was just a big cafeteria serving beer, sausage, and pretzels, very big pretzels.

Meat

They eat a lot of meat in Germany.

I ate a lot of meat in Germany. I wish I didn't. I could've used a salad or two. At least the pizza at Thursday's lunch was something different.

Bread

I could go for a pretzel right now.

Picture is of the selection of pretzel bread available to you as you wander around Munich, Germany. What's missing is the sandwiches that could be made with said bread. Schnitzel. Some ham. Some turkey. In America, we have wraps. In Germany, they wrap a pretzel around it.

I could go for a pretzel...
