First miracle: The Browns won! They actually are 1 and 4 now! They won because they played a team just as awful as themselves - the Buffalo Bills. They won in a game with NO TOUCHDOWNS! 6 to 3. They won. They won! They broke their ten-game losing streak!

Second miracle: Both the LA Dodgers and the LA Angels of Anaheim swept their opponents in the Division Series. The Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals in three straight, and the Halos swept the Red Sox (Oh BOY, OH BOY). I have wanted a Freeway World Series and they are halfway there.

Third miracle: Bill O'Reilly said that the President actually deserved his Nobel Peace Prize and that he (O'Reilly) is happy about it. Boy, did that stink-off Ann Coulter (who probably believed she should get one.)

Fourth miracle: I am expecting a nice check tomorrow. It is for a commission which I cannot publish or show anyone. I will have heat, water and electricity for another month.

Fifth miracle: The US President's Cup golf team, under the Captaincy of Fred Couples (my favorite golfer of all-time,) won the Cup today. Tiger Woods' 5-up win in stroke play clinched it.

Sixth miracle: The sun came out today, even though the temperature never got above 52 degrees. The trees are very yellow this autumn. That's due to the rather cool summer and the early cold which hastened the color change.

There isn't a Seventh miracle (here) yet, but stay tuned.

(Oh, yes, I am shopping for a fuzzy stuffed bunny for Hobbes. This week I will be going down to Amish country - Holmes and Tuscarawas Counties - and there is a great big toy shop that I will visit on the trip. If anyone has a brown, fuzzy, actual-size, very realistic looking Cottontail rabbit, they will have one. Wish me luck.)
