Ups and downs

This weekly blog posting will NOT continue...watching the Tribe, work has been busy; also been trying to watch ALL of the Inspector Morse episodes, which takes some time.  Also not much to say...  the rotation is doing better -- Trevor especially -- and now the relievers are struggling (Francona's faith in McAllister in high-leverage situations is amusing if not troubling).  The Bruce trade has not paid immediate dividends, but if we got him just for the salary...well, it is not a bad deal, and we getting him means someone else will not.  With Kip out again, we may get an infielder, too.  

Watched "Sherman's March" last nite, up to 575.  Long.  Not terribly interesting -- man goes South and looks for women.  Not sure what it is that put it on the list.  Alas.

My own suspicion is that Trump is blustering, as are the North Koreans, and that this will peter out..  the healthcare thing is more amusing, as some of this is Trump's fault, too...he could have pushed it harder, and, well, he could have said it could happen...well, eventually.  I suspect a good many GOPers will be primaried, and I for one could not be happier.

One thing of interest..raises and performance reviews happened.  That and the now-completed refi...well, I am not exactly flush with cash, but the position is a little better, and that is a good thing.
