I was surprised that I was late with a mortgage payment last month. Not really, but I received a notice that I had. Last month, I had to go through the process of opening up a new checking account, and, of course, had the auto-pay function for my payments. Well, someone at Third Federal decided to turn off that function without my knowledge. OK, that was strange. The money was in there, but no one felt compelled to check out that part of the deal. But it's all fixed now. Or so they say.

Oh, yeah, I'm watching the World Series. But I am at the end of my rope with Tim McCarver. The man will not shut the fuck up. I watched the last two innings of the game on mute, because of this gem regarding the Houston closer, Brad Lidge: "Tonight, the bridge to Lidge is a wide span." Why can't Joe Buck say, "That is a disgusting act!"? Jee-zus.
