As Thursday slides into Friday and the start of the weekend, my autumn attention turns to sports. There are so many opportunities with the NFL, college football, NHL, MLB Playoffs, Premier League. I get overloaded sometimes. 

I stay up too late and then cannot get to sleep because of the game's ending. 

Things have been crazy since Wednesday night. 

The Yankees lost (yay!)

Dallas lost.

Arsenal won.

Syracuse, Maryland and USF lost. 

Georgia won in a wild ending. 

Ravens play today without Lamar.

Penguins lost twice.

The Dolphins will likely go to 0-5 today.

More MLB playoffs!

And those are just the games I have an interest in!

There is so much!

I am glad that I am retired and do not have to go to work in the morning. And because I was up late last night watching Georgia win, I decided not to ride my bike this morning.
