You know how there are certain goofy things in life that make you cry? For me it has always been sports. Most of the time I'll just get a little weepy, but there have been some occasions when it seemed like my eyes just sprang a leak. For instance, I cried like a baby when the US Hockey team won gold in 1980, when the Tigers clinched the AL Division Championship last year, and when Ernest Byner fumbled the ball in the end zone and cost the Browns a trip to the Super Bowl in 1987. Yesterday was just a run of the mill trickle, though. Justin Verlander pitched the first no hitter for the Tigers since Jack Morris did it in 1984! I'm sure this is very underwhelming for most of you, but I really love baseball and try to watch all the Tigers games, so this was monumental for me. Not to mention the fact that when Morris pitched his no hitter in '84, the Tigers won the World Series! This is definitely a good omen for the Tiges!
Breakage Update: the lawnmower worked great, and I pushed the rake out of the way of the garage door eye, so now it closes properly. Our front porch, however, has seen better days. The porch fixer guy came by last night to make a few small repairs to the concrete and it turns out that a lot more is wrong with it than we originally thought. We are going to have to have the whole damn thing replaced. So right now, our porch is a crumbled broken mess. AND he broke the tip off my porch gnome's hat! Luckily, I have some Gorilla Glue and fixed him right up, but I'm pretty certain that our porch is going to need a lot more than some Gorilla Glue to make it better. < heavy sigh >
