The World Series and other Blablings

(Inhales) Yes, folks it's that time of year again!!! Fall is in the air and the Autumn classic is here again. An exciting and depressing time of year for many reasons:

-Exciting - it's the freeking World Series!!
-Depressing - these are the last baseball games until next year
-Exciting - My birthday comes every October and marks the conclusion of "Birthday Season" - aconglomerated celebration of all the family and friend's birthdays (from June to October) The big finale is today!!!
-Depressing - 11 months and 29 days til my next one (7 1/2 months 'til next birthday season)
-Exciting - even the wife and kids watch the World Series, so I don't have to watch a game alone
- Even MORE Exciting - The Yankees will be watching the series from the golf course again this year
-Depressing - FOX covers the Series again this year so Joe Suck and Tim McDipshit have to talk through the game. Since everyone and their Mama's Sister are watching, they super-dumb down everything that happens and superhype up every player's capabilities. They say things like "If he plays good in this series, it will REALLY help his team's chances" (Insightful)
- Exciting - Baseball, Football, Hockey are ALL in their regular season and Basketball is days away from starting
- Depressing - My hockey and football fantasy teams are in trouble and I forgot my basketball draft start time and was autodrafted for all but the last 2 picks.
- SUPER Depressing - I actually care about my fantasy teams?!?!?!?
- Exciting - the weather cools and the days are bee-you-tea-full! Time to get some yard work done!!!
- Depressing - Well, I live in Arizona, and I worked in the yard all day yesterday and am sunburned today.
- Exciting - Halloween is next week, the kids will have a ball!!
- Depressing - it's not even Halloween and the Christmas displays in the stores have been up over a month already!

Well, either way Fall (or as I call it here in Arizona "Spring II") is one of my 5 favorite seasons of the year!
