It's been six years to the day since the attacks, and for some reasons my thoughts go to those who are celebrating their 6th birthday today. These kids are either in kindergarten or first grade and have to endure being reminded that the day they were born, a huge event of disasterous proportions happened. If they are a first child, I wonder how their mother answers the question
"What was the greatest day of your life"
Do they answer "The Day You were Born" ?

I'm Glad I Don't Have A Dishwasher
I just got my deposit back, which is helpful in the time before I start with my new job in October.
The funny thing is that I had to pay about 200 dollars for dishwasher repair. This is the second time I had to pay to fix a dishwasher. No big deal except for one thing.
I never used the dishwasher.
Not once.
I don't need to ever use a dishwasher. I never have enough dirty dishes to use it. The first time this happened I lived by myself so I fought tooth and nail with the theives that rented my apartment.
This time I know the dishwasher did get used except it wasn't by me.
Still, I bet at least one or more dishes that got washed was used by me, so I guess it's my fault. Oh, well. I don't have to worry about that now.

What a Difference A Scenario Makes
The weekend series with the Braves ends and the Mets head into Cincinnati winning 3 out of 7, which was the least acceptable scenario I would tolerate, the problem is the scenario I imagined would have the Mets ahead of the Braves by 5 1/2 games and the Phillies by 6. Instead the Mets are ahead of the Braves by 7 1/2 and the Phillies by 4.
I thought going in the Mets would take two of four from the Phillies like they had all year and that the Braves would win the series two of three. Thus the standings like above.
However the Mets sucked the tailpipe in Philly and somehow decide that this weekend was a good time to sweep the Braves. If the Phillies had done better with the Marlins, they would be even closer to the Mets.
The Mets are frustrating this year. They have been in first place most of the year and have survived many mediocre streaks. Still, every time they have the jugular they let go and give the Phillies and or Braves opportunities. Many opportunities, that the Braves and Phillies have not taken.
I hope that they don't falter in the playoffs.
