1. I helped chip away a little bit more at reducing the stuff in our house. Christy has arranged to have Taylor and Paul help her with a trip (or two?) to the dump on Saturday and she invited us to add to the effort. My chief goal will be to get old containers of paint out of the basement.
2. When I started reading Lonesome Dove a few months ago, I wanted an Audible version of the book to help move me forward -- this had to do with the loopy sensations I was feeling in my head until about three weeks ago. When I first looked, the book was not available on Audible, but this evening I found out that's changed and so I downloaded it and I think this will spur me to return to reading it.
3. Ever since he was a Washington National, I've known Max Scherzer was a fiery competitor and this evening I got a kick out of watching Blue Jay manager John Schneider's visit to the mound with two outs in the fifth inning fire him up. Scherzer locked eyes, each a different color, with Schneider. He screamed a crazed stream of profanities that made it clear he was going to stay in the game.
He did stay.
He retired Randy Arozarena for the third out. He even came back out and pitched two thirds of the sixth inning.
When Schneider came to the mound to remove Scherzer in the sixth, Scherzer complied, walked quietly to the dugout, apparently realizing that he had emptied his tank and that he needed relief.
