Exhausted But Happy
yes, after a record 18 innings, the Houston Astros pulled out a victory. I am over the moon about this but know my net sons must be disappointed. Sorry Ryan and Mike but it was a GREAT game. terrible umps but top notch playing. I was watching the game at the casino since I don't have TV. I met a little old man and he asked which team I was rooting for. I told him Houston because I just moved from there. He said his son was making him buy a complete Thanksgiving dinner if Atlanta won. He said " I don't mind paying for the dinner, I just don't want him to beat me." I just laughed and he added "seriously though, I am from Louisiana; and Houston...well Houston saved me recently. So I want Houston to win." He was such a neat old man. I think he was one of the fortunate ones with enough money to rebuild but still needed shelter when the storms came. I told him that Houston really is no different than any other gulf coast city. I said all cities stick together in times of disaster (like Florida and Georgia taking refugees from Mississippi and Alabama). He said in his accented voice "yes they do, don't they? yes they do." But I am glad my (old) city didn't turn its back on people in times of need. To me, that just made today even sweeter.

Hey, no t.v. - I knew I liked you for a reason. We have t.v., but can't be bothered to actually watch it (though truth be told, I should be watching Danish programs to help my listening skills in the language, which are relatively weak)
I checked on the MLB website at some point during the game, before going to bed, and it was tied 6-6. I'm so glad to hear the Astro's won - Congratulations!
we have a TV. We have 3 to be exact; one in Mouse's room, one in the boys' room and one in the livingroom. However we have no cable nor antenna to pickup even PBS. We just have always done without because of school. It is a major distraction. BUT I have an extensive DVD collection and have bought some TV shows on DVD like CSI which I like Miami the best. Do you know I have never watched an entire episode of Friends? I am kind of proud of that. I'll post tomorrow on the the few shows I buy. Other than that, it's only movies for this family.
You have a t.v.? :-( Oh, well. I like you anyway. :-) I look forward to hearing what you watch in any case.
