Aerie Report, November 2, 2009

A cold, crisp morning here at the Aerie. The temperature fell to a mere 31 degrees over night as the clouds finally disappeared and the full moon shown brightly. The ground--and anything else that stood still long enough--was coated with a layer of frost when I looked out the windows. With the cloudless sky, that won't last long. The soft touch of the sun's rays will send easily melt the frost and then, should the air remain as calm as it is currently, we'll see the moisture curl up from the roof, car, and other dark surfaces as ghostly wisps.

What the heck happened to my Giants and Jets? After great starts, they have both fallen apart. The Giants got trounced by the Eagles yesterday in a game in which it looked like the Eagles actually tried to hold the score down. As for the Jets...Come on guys!! TWO kick offs returned for TDs? Give me a break! Still, aside from those two plays, the Jets only gave up only about 160 yards of total offense. 160 yards! A team should lose easily if it only gains 160 yards, right? Damn! I hate Ted Ginn!

I've been hobbling around pretty well on this bum knee over the weekend. I even felt well enough to go out to dinner with Terry at the Penn Wells Hotel in Wellsboro Sunday. Afterward we went to the Gemeiner Center for an art show that was opening. Mostly wildlife art and really, really good.

Today I go back to the therapist for more torture therapy. I've two more appointments this week. We'll see ho it feels on Friday before deciding on whether I need more or not.
