Today is “Medical Tuesday” with both a booster shot and teeth cleaning. It’s been since March (7 months) that I’ve had my choppers looked at or had the initial Covid shot. Since I was only able to get the single dose of J&J it’s important that I supplement it with a Pzifer second. Here in what many call the Covid hotbed, there’s no point in taking a risk. Although, even our HOA has lifted the mask requirement for indoor events. I imagine that later today I’ll experience some mild symptoms or at least have a sore arm, but my gums should feel good. 

Tonight is Game 6 of the World Series with another chance for the Braves to win it all. The neighborhood stadium should be abuzz with fans hoping to share the winning moment. With an 8 p.m. start, I will be in bed for the outcome. I’ve already had a disappointing week of sports, including the Noah Clowney decision yesterday to go to Alabama over Indiana. This is really the first setback in the Coach Woodson era. Wins and losses will be the next measure of his success after an excellent recruiting record so far with the exception of Noah Clowney. I always consider it a sign that maybe he wasn’t the right fit for the program, but I.U. basketball needs all the good publicity it can get right now. With the ability for players to now rescind on their commitments depending on which way the wind is blowing, securing a future prospect in the early signing period is no longer a certainty. 

The Morning Show has suddenly turned dark, while Ted Lasso isn’t as funny as I expected. We watched both Apple TV series last night, as I wait for Curse of Oak Island to restart. I caught up on some Season 8 episodes before we left for the movie theatre yesterday afternoon, in anticipation of tonight’s Season 9 restart. The movie Dune was very entertaining from a special effects standpoint on the big screen, but with all science fiction productions I seem to have trouble keeping the characters and places straight. Most productions anymore for me require multiple viewings, so I will watch one of the earlier versions of the story to gain a clearer understanding. I’ll try to fit it into my busy retirement schedule… ha ha!
