this evening i read the wikipedia articles i had printed this week about 'fallen women books.' i had noticed how elizabeth gaskell had been in garrison keillor's 'writers almanac' and i was interested in mention of two books by her, 'ruth' and 'mary barton'. it was part of covering the struggles of the working class in victorian england. one of the articles compared it to 'scarlet letter', by a different author, but from the same era. haven't read any of those yet but i had heard of 'scarlet letter' many times before. at work there was a team huddle in the afternoon, first time in-person in a while. in the morning was a dial-in quarterly meeting about the business performance. i logged in on time and there was nothing, so i did something else for a few minutes and tried again a little later and then it was on. odd how it didn't start on time. there was more about the buyout of a bank with a big presence in california, just received approval from the regulators. i still got checks printed during that one. after work i got some cheese at a target, and more discounted halloween candy at a walgreen. in the evening i watched 'the conners', then it was over to the world series. louise works with jackie at the diner, and darlene quits her job. liked how i didn't miss much on the series, only in the second inning by then. astros beat the phils 5-0 to even the series 2-2. it was a combined no-hitter. so these past two games prove the old adage about how the name of the game is pitching, as both were shutouts. astros scored with 'little ball', first run was when the batter was plunked with the bases loaded. later on i went on a walk and found 66 cents. 'big bang theory' reruns were when howard tried to avoid squeaky spots in the baby room. it was followed by the one where there was a catfight between penny and the new neighbor.
