Rainy Thursday

[ksmith]

Not raining in Pittsburgh, tho, where the Cubs just completed a three-game sweep of the Pirates. They've won 5 in a row and are now 6-3 for the very young season.

I shall enjoy it for as long as it lasts.

Rained all day. My attempt to stop the garage roof leak didn't work--a coworker is coming over tomorrow to apply a temporary patch. I have calls out to three roofers. No callbacks yet.

Rumors of sunny 70s next week. I'll believe it when I see it.

Snow showers possible on Saturday. That, I believe.

The tomato seeds arrived today, as did the indoor starter planter. Another project for the weekend, to add to puppy vet visits and the purchase of sump pumps.

No rain? As Ernie Banks would say, let's play two! Then the baby bears would have won 6 in a row.

The first two games against the Buccos went into extra innings. Way extra--last night's game went 15, and along with the extra innings from the previous game, it was like an extra game. Which is my garbled late night way of saying that in a way, over a period of two days, they did play two. Except that they played three. When they were only supposed to play two.

I'm glad tomorrow's Friday...

So I sit down to lunch and see TCM is showing Alibi Ike, a 1935 movie about the Chicago Cubs starring Joe E. Brown, William Frawley, and Olivia DeHavilland. Written by Ring Lardner, no less. To bad I'm supposed to be working.

With Joe E Brown, I'd assume a comedy, but Lardner has an edge so I'm assuming some melo/drama?

Never read Alibi Ike, only You Know Me, Al. So I don't know. Wikipedia calls it a screwball comedy,
