A HALLOWEEN TREAT TO YOU FROM ME

Tomorrow is All Hallow's Eve, the day before All Saints Day.  As a Halloween treat for you, I have written a short story.  To read my story, please click the "Fiction" button above. 


QUOTE OF THE DAY

From ghoulies and ghosties and long-
leggety beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

- Scottish prayer










Football (CFL)

Last night I attended the Toronto Argonaut game at the dome.  It was an entertaining game, but the Argos lost a game they should have won.  Once again, they snatched defeat fron the jaws of vicory.  I was among the 22,477 fans at the former SkyDome who witnessed one of the craziest plays in CFL history in the dying seconds of the game.  The Argos and the Montreal Alouettes were tied 30-30 and Montreal attempted a 36-yard field goal.  However, Montreal's Damon Duval kicked the ball wide.  Then, a comedy of errors ensued involving two Toronto players who were waiting in the end zone. Somehow, when the dust was cleared, Montreal had scored a touch down .  They won the game 37-30.

Baseball

The San Francisco Giants are in firm command of this World Series.  They lead 2 game to 0 as the stage moves to Arlington for Game Three. Texas could still pull a rabbit out of the hat, but I wouldn't bet against the Giants now,
