Falling Apart
Not a good day from the sports point of view. First, some college football:
1. My alma mater team, the Cal Bears, having gone undefeated the first 5 games of the season and reaching the lofty height of being ranked number 2 in the country, a ranking they haven’t had since 1952, were upset by Oregon State 31-28.
2. The UC Davis football team were beaten at home by Cal Poly San Luis Obispo 63-28.
And then baseball:
3. The Red Sox lost to the Cleveland Indians 13-6, the Indians scoring 7 runs in the 11th inning. Ouch. The Indians thus even the best-of-seven series one game to one; the series now moves to Cleveland for three games.

I remember baseball … it’s like cricket in two dimensions, and played REALLY fast …
sorry about the bears. my husband and sister are from cal. but our daughter is at OSU now, so my husband was wearing the orange and black at the game. [i only really care about the bands — only some of the OSU band could attend, and she was not among them. but one of her friends is in the cal band, and i hear they are great.]
it was wonderful to meet you and pica today.
