Friday we stayed in & I watched the Toronto Blue Jays DEMOLISH the Baltimore Orioles 13-3 in the first game of a 3 game series in Baltimore! Saturday’s game, a loss, 4-2, same teams different pitchers, Sunday I’ll see what happens? Oddly enough Jose Bautista is injured & hasn’t played, yet the $20 million/year SS is back as of Saturday & they lost? This small sample screams dump Tulowitzki & Bautista at the end of July, the trade deadline. Even today they lost with their all-star SS. He’s not hitting like they expected yet. He’s really good defensively very sure handed. I hope he starts hitting soon or I’d be sending him off. If Jose Bautista & Edwin Encarnacion are going to be re-signed, I think it would have happened by now. The Blue Jays can see what the two guys are offered by other teams, & go on from their.

Saturday evening we met Corey, Jolene & Hannah at Fatburger. Yes, the restaurant is appropriately named. We came home & Kim picked a chick flick to rent with a very underwhelming end. I didn’t watch “The Sopranos” series but I heard that the finale was terrible & basically faded to black when a beat down looked as though it was going to happen. Whatever that movie was called, was very similar. Even Kim was sadly disappointed. “You picked the movie”. That’s all I said or else I’d be in deep doodie right now. Yeah, today Kim did some laundry & we both just sat on the couch, oh & I guess I did make a pitcher of blended fruit & vegetables today. Fairly quiet weekend here.

I’m not a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. I love the “Californication” & “By the Way” albums though!

I wonder why so many people hate the police? Maybe because this is what could happen during a shift at work? Nobody else has to deal with this at work?! I’d flip if I had to deal with this type of behaviour on a fairly regular basis or at all. LANGUAGE!!! Thank you for keeping us safe!

I’ve listened to Stitched Up Heart probably a dozen times now & it’s really good to my ears. They’re a female fronted vocalist band right on the edge of rock & metal. They dip their toes in both sides of the pool. She sings more than screams. If you like The Pretty Reckless or Halestorm, Stitched Up Heart is a bit heavier that that.
