This week I'm in Disneyland with Cecily, Cynthia, Cyndi, and Betty. Party hardy dudes!

This week's classes are in Portland, so my commute is via car versus plane. woo hoo! In fact, once playoff baseball resumes, my granddaughter and I can continue to enjoy america's favorite sport.

How funny is it when we can watch Bud "All-I-need-is-a-pitcher" Black lose to the Rockies. HA! HA! HA! HA! Trevor Hoffman, you're a great, a fantastic closer, however, a team needs more, much more, than pitching, to win a game! It needs heart. Bud Black has no heart - he's a pitching coach, nothing more.

My predication; Boston in 4 games over Philadelphia.

In 2008; The Dodgers in 4 games over the Yankees.
