Indians claim AL Central crown

"The Indians came into Sunday's game with a supreme focus on locking up the American League Central Division championship in the regular-season home finale, in front of a bustling sellout crowd of 40,250 fans."

Lauren's First British Construction Project

Lauren was excited to receive a parcel in the mail from Bath, England. Now, "Bath" is a word that strikes terror in the heart of her brother. Lauren on the other hand, immediately knew there was nothing to fear from this particular packet. It contained a scene from the city of residence of The Right & Reverends Ronald and Maurene Garner. Lauren got to work: erected the buildings and installed the townspeople. She is excited about the possibility of visiting the very location that she assembled in 2008.

Bobbie's Artwork

Sometimes The Old Curmudgeon notices the presence of wild hares where previously there had been none in a particular location. The most recent episode of this phenomenon occurred this summer when he decided to resign from the practice group that had been his professional home for five-plus years. He packed up his gear, moved down the road a ways and joined another group. His original office was quite small. Indeed, clients frequently noted that their homes had closets larger than the office. The Old Curmudgeon comforted himself with associations to Harry Potter's cupboard room. The newer office, however is luxuriously spacious. With a surplus of wall space, The Curmudgeon's Better Half became inspired to produce a series of original works to hang. Each is based on a quotation of someone dear to TOC. The Curmudgeon hopes you will enjoy them.
