Coming up on the Griddle this week ...

Not much.

I won't be around a computer a lot this week. And I need a little respite as I think I've watched too much baseball. I have had a recurring dream where I get phone calls from Ron Fairly telling me to tell particular Seattle Mariner players that he thought they were good players. Really. I have had that dream. That can't be good. I'll post a few things in the evening possibly.

But this week, there are the Division Series to keep people busy and three of the four series are covered by a Toaster representative. Only the Padres-Cardinals series doesn't have a Toaster patron.

Then I will leave for vacation on October 9 and I will be back reporting from Sapporo, Japan where, despite the absence of a ticket, I hope to see Games 1 and 2 of the Pacific League Championship Series on October 11 and 12. And Games 3 and 4 (if necessary) from either Tokorozawa or Fukuoka. Probably the former.

After that back home for a couple of days and then out to scenic Western Michigan and then a trip down to South Bend with my brother to see UCLA play some large unnamed Catholic university. And I do have tickets already for that one.

Enjoy your writing sabbatical, Bob. After the last few weeks of Griddleness, you deserve it.

It's been a blast to read.

Why is it that nobody hase recurring dreams where anything great happens?

"You know, I keep having this dream where I hit the game winning homer for the Dodgers in the World Series, and then I go home with Raquel Welch, circa 1972. I've had that dream like five times now."

It's always something horrible. Or uncomfortable. Or involving Ron Fairly.

I will be posting while on vacation. However, I won't be posting much while I try to get stuff done BEFORE I leave on vacation.

But now I can take shampoo and shaving cream with me!

Your blogging output for September was truly extraordinary. When I click on the September archives, I need a microscope to see the scroll bar. Thanks for keeping us all informed and entertained during this year's great set of pennant races.

All the best to you, Bob. You've done a yeoman's job here lately and certainly deserve the break. Knock back a sake for me willya?

Maybe pinch a geisha or two as well.

Enjoy your trip ...

Ah Bob, we each react differently to the gloom that rolls in with the last out of the regular season. If Tiger can reward himself with a break from the action, so can you. Not to distract you from your r&r, but your legions miss you already. With some rest the recurring dream will change to "If you write it, they will read."

Incredibly, a blogger suggested to Derek Smart that Frank Robinson would be a good choice to replace Dusty Baker. I wanted to laugh. Then I saw his name is Rick Houston TX, and figured he had a truly evil strategy in mind for a divisional opponent. But if that was true, why waste Robinson on the Cubs?

Is your dream in color? I dream in color all the time. People tell me that dreaming in color is a sign of insanity, but I always reply, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?"
