Economics 101: Macaroni & Major League Baseball

In our continuing effort to insulate ourselves from the current fiasco, here are suggestions for today. We hope this helps you in your endeavor to achieve some sort of peace by keeping away from financial news. 

The Major League Baseball Playoffs will commence this afternoon and there will be several games to choose from during the day. You can go to MLB.com for schedules. Now, we know that our Houston Astros did not make it – truly because of Hurricane Ike and their having to play “Home Games” away - but we still enjoy baseball. This is the sport where you can kick back and not have to watch intensely. Heck, you can even fall asleep in your recliner which might also be a good thing! 

Today we do have a couple of appointments, like hairdo and church meeting. One errand we have is delivering our letters to the Troops to our local Legion where they will be put in boxes to our troops. Anyone can do that and is really appreciated! We have a few cards and letters to send to friends and shut-ins and you can do that too! 

Speaking of Troops, in honor of our granddaughter PFC Meghan (Stationed in S.Korea), we will be eating her fave food, macaroni, tonight. Macaroni is still relatively inexpensive and tends to calm one. A piece of chocolate after wouldn't hurt! 

So, there you have it for today to keep your mind occupied. Believe it, there will be an interruption of any programming when the United States is back on track.

Have a fine day!
