Watching Jake and Dave's World Series blogging has been fun, but the Angels just caught the 3rd out of the 9th inning, the Giants stranded two base runners for the third time and the game is over. Damn -- I wanted to see Barry Bonds get his long awaited series. At least he had a good one -- no shame; unbelievable stats. And hey -- I just learned that the Angels were established as an expansion team back in 1961, the year I was born. I should be a fan! They were due too. And they sure earned it -- the comeback in game 6 showed a lot.

Pumpkin carving sure has come of age No more hacking at the big squash with a carving knife, cutting a couple of round eyes and a jagged, gaping grin. With these kits and their patterns, scoops, drills and saws, even the kids can carve stuff that really looks good! Ilana has a great ghoul ready to light up on the big day.

Now time to for the top of the eight. Let's go Giants! 3 runs!
