It is getting late and I’ve written nothing, so here is generic words, September 16, 2017 edition.

It was a week ago that the girl cat started acting weird and frozen and she quit eating for a few days. That was a week ago. Now she is back to her talkative, hungry self.

I ate a pint of Phish food tonight, if that suggests to anyone my current mental health.

Payton and I went down to watch the Lobo men’s soccer team play #17 and conference challenger University of Kentucky tonight. In a weird late call as the first half ended, Kentucky was given a penalty kick, and on that strange opportunity, they scored the only goal of the match. UNM, which looked aggressive and controlled in the first half, looked tenative and on the defense in the second half of their loss. The oddest moment of the match happened right after the first half ended. From out of nowhere, a steady rain fell, which cleared much of the stands and lasted for pretty much the whole of intermission time. And that was that.

It is grumbling outside, distant thunder on a rainy evening. It is nice to hear the low rumbles, but the rain also makes me wonder if that is why my body aches.

The Cubs beat the Cardinals today for the second time in two days. Addison Russell, the Cubs usual shortstop who has been on the DL since August 4th, got in the game late this aftenoon as a pinch hitter. He launched a 490 foot shot into the back of the stands in center field in that first at bat of being back. I guess he’s ready to play. Naturally, he also recorded the last out of the game, catching a line drive at short.

My eyes still stink.

I still think it would be good for me if I got off of social media for a while.

I still think it would be nice to sell a lot of what I own and just do not use.

I don’t know. I don’t feel like I have much to say any more. I think a lot about just becoming silent.
