Today was an extremely long day.  Ever have those days?  How come they never happen on the weekend when you could actually use the “extra” time?  The weather around here is finally going to change for a short time.  Cutting the upper 90 degree weather to the upper 80’s with the possibility of some rain around here should cool things off for a bit.  But, we don’t need much rain, we’ve had quite a bit this year.  Just a little to keep the humidity out of the air is good enough.  After the late inning implosion by the Cardinals last night, they have tried to outscore their opponent tonight.  So far, so good.  They are leading late in the game, but our dreaded bullpen in on the mound so make sure you have a helmet on if you’re at the stadium or filled full of tums if you’re at home.  On a side note, isn’t it hard to believe we are nearing the start of school?  Where did the time go?
