tracker7Mom's doing okay, as well as can be expected, all that. She's home, strong enough to get up from bed or the couch or whatever. Steps aren't in her range just yet, so Dad's adding a small bathroom on to the lower bedroom.
Down to about 25 games left in the MLB season. The Dodgers are a game behind the Giants in the division, and the two teams are back-and-forth lately. I'd like another division pennant, of course; a wild card spot in the playoffs is acceptable.
I'm still tired, moreso than I'd like. Too much idleness. Not enough doing anything. Go to work, mark time, come home, and I just stall out. It's not good.
I've been reading David Simon's Homicide for about a week. It's an unflinching and incredible look at a major city's police department - Simon got himself named a "police intern" for the year he spent with Baltimore PD. It inspired a hell of a TV series, and a later Simon work gave us The Wire, and I can't ever say enough good things about that series. Highest recommendation.
Related, and sadly, the actor who played Omar Little in The Wire, Michael K. Williams, was found dead today. Williams was incredible in the role - a deeply complex and very very human criminal.
