Alright. Since the new format I have been posting in wrong threads at times. I will try to look more closely. Thanks for the update.

I don't know if it changed, or if I got wrong information, or misunderstood, but it I think you are correct.

Halloween movie theme (watching the movie!)

The LA Dodgers have won the World Series. They win game five by a score of 7-6 and take the series 4-1. This is the Dodgers first World Series win since 2020. Sorry. @sensei8 the NYY had a good run.

My first tournament (TKD) was on this day (Oct 29) in 2005, so 19 years ago. I remember feeling a lot of emotions. Nervous, excited, overwhelmed, tried to take it all in, and it made it difficult to sleep. We had a sparring seminar the night before and I won against a higher rank but was 0-2 against my own rank in the actual tournament. I was a green belt. I did forms and weapons, where I placed, but did not place in sparring. I felt pretty good that I got two third place medals in my first tournament, but knew I missed a chance to win a sparring match, especially the second one, and to this day kick myself over some clear missed opportunities to land points. It was about a 13-hour day between participating and volunteering at the event, but I left with more energy than I came in with. It was so much fun to get that experience for the first time. I did see stars for the rest of the night though, a kick to the head did that. Possibly a concussion, but other than that I got out unscathed. Fun day and fun memories, still recall it like it was last weekend nearly two decades later. Please share your own, if you want.

Very interesting, thanks for posting this.

Never been much of a factor for me that I can recall, other than falling when I lost my balance on the medical ball. Or whatever that big silver one is called.

Green becomes red. The calendar says Halloween, but my belt is looking a lot like Christmas.

Minnesota and Marc Andre-Fleury got a win on Tuesday night against his former team, the Penguins. The win puts Minnesota at 6-1-2, 14 points, only two behind the first place Jets. Still a long way to go, obviously, but it is nice to get some early season wins because if you slump mid-season, and many times teams do, there is a benefit to having banked those standings points in October. You don't have to chase as much later in the year as you do if you start out slow. Not saying the Wild are changing my expectations of the season, but they look good so far, and I am always happy for Fleury, one of my favorite players. Other winners were the Ducks, Flyers, Kraken, Senators, Capitals. and the San Jose Sharks have won two in a row.

They are not out yet, they live to see game five after winning 11-4 Tuesday night.

Thanks! I feel pretty good today, thought I would be sore but I am going back tonight.

The Cranberries - Zombie

Bad news for the Texans, WR Stephon Diggs is out for the season with a torn ACL. The Texans are 6-2 and one of the top contenders, not sure how this will impact but we might learn a little bit on Thursday night as the Texans spend Halloween in NY against the Jets.

The Jets fall for the first time this season, a 4-2 loss in Toronto, dropping them to 8-1-0, still the best team in the league right now but it ends the winning streak. Other winners tonight were the Golden Knights, Sharks, Hurricanes, Blackhawks, Lightning, Panthers and Blue Jackets.

Back to the gym today. Felt good.

In a street attack? Directly to the groin.

I've checked out from the new Fraiser, this version of the show isn't doing it for me. I'm moving on to Matlock, which a few episodes in I am digging!

Michal Jackson - Thriller

I agree with all of that.

I'm seeing a lot more Yankees and Dodgers gear being worn around town this weekend. I wonder why.........

OK, ignore that. There was no problem with the post, user error was the issue. I posted in the wrong section and did not notice it at first.

The Jets lost to the Patriots and are now in last place in the AFC East, dropping to 2-6 and have lost five in a row. WOW. The 25-22 win by the Patriots was done with a TD in the final minute, followed by a two-point conversion. I figured Rodgers would get them a FG attempt but it never came to be. The struggling Jets have a quick turnaround, hosting the 6-2 Texans on Thursday night. It doesn't get any easier for New York. The Lions got into their Ford Mustangs and drove over the Titans on Sunday, a 52-14 blowout as Detroit improves to 6-1. Next week the Lions travel to the frozen tundra (well maybe not frozen yet) of Lambeau Field in Green Bay to face the Packers. The Ravens who looked unstoppable the last few weeks lost in Cleveland to a Browns team that did not have Watson, ending the Ravens five game win streak. The Chiefs stayed unbeaten by defeating the Raiders. Chiefs play the Bucs at home a week from Monday, on November 4, and already are in good position for the playoffs, and even home field, as they are two games up on every team in the AFC. Despite Mahomes having a down season by the stats, the Chiefs just keep winning. I thought KC would be good, but not 7-0. Mahomes and Ried are the Brady and Belichick of this era. Lots of football left but no question they are still the team to beat. The 49ers beat the Cowboys, Bills beat the Seahawks, Falcons topped the Bucs, and the Chargers won against the Saints, to name a few of the other games.

With Halloween only a few days away I am going back through the classic movies. Watching Halloween 3 tonight. A strange film that is different from the others because there is no Michael Meyers. The original plan for the movie series was that Meyers was going to be done after the sequel, then for Halloween 4 the filmmakers decided to bring him back, so there is this weird Halloween 3 movie that is out of left field. I like the movie, but it is nothing like anything else in the Halloween series.

I had another post in the football thread that did not submit. When I went back to the thread there was no record of my writing it. Is anyone else having this issue?
