September 30th, 2025 has arrived folks. The last day of the month is here, and the weather is still warm, here in Westborough, Ma. for us. Soon though fall shall begin to crawl in and take over and temperatures shall drop. For me, I prefer the slightly cooler weather that fall brings and the color of the leaves and beauty of it all. Fall is for me the best season of the four, cool enough to walk in and nice enough to change the leaves and beauty.
Summer brings heat, Winter will bring cold and snow. Spring is the second best season I like because it stays cool for a good while, and the greens of the lands open up once again. As I age I find Spring and Fall the two best and it is why I love New England the way I do. I was born and raised in Connecticut, where the weather was never a problem for me. So, I guess it’s in my DNA so to say, lol.
As September ends, The Red Sox have returned to the MLB PLayoffs starting today. It’s the first time since 2021, and I hope they win of course. I am glad to see them once more in the playoffs, but, their hated enemies the Yankees are in also and it will be a three game confrontation. Can the Red Sox win, yes, will they win well that I do not know for sure, I can only hope. I have been a Red Sox fan since I was a kid, and began as a fan in the early 1960’s. My dad/ step-father, was a Red Sox fan all his life, and never got to see them win a World Series, but I did! I have only been to Fenway Park, once in my life, and that was in 2013, after my lung cancer operation, to see them beat the Yankees. I am not rich and game tickets are expensive, so I never get there, although, I now live in Westborough, which is closer of course. Let’s Go Red Sox, Lets Go.
Well, Fall, also brings back the sports that keep me going, each week, The NFL and the NBA. I have always been a big NFL fan, I just love the sports, at least for watching on TV. I love The Celtics in the NBA, The Red Sox MLB. and I will follow the Patriots, cause i live in their area, but I love the Vikings, even if they don’t win a Superbowl. I can’t sit through a baseball game, it is too long and puts me to sleep when I try. A NFL Game I can handle more action and the same with the NBA.
Anyway, life seems to continue on no matter what happens in the world. Everyone wants to be remembered for somethinhg after they are gone and deceased. I write my blogs, my poetry, I wrote my short stories and thats me. I am not a sports hero, I am not a politician or artist of any kind. I love music yes to listen to, but, never had the patienance to learn an instrument.
I have tried some sports around here, where I live, I tried PickleBall which is very popular here in my area. When I did I twisted an ankle and never went back. Fun game, but, after the ankle twist I haven’t gone back. Bocce is next I think in 2026’s spring, I shall try that. Will I ever go back to Pickleball, I don’t know yet. I walk alot as I said before when the weather permits and I love the fresh air and sunshine, but, not high heat or ice cold weather. I live with it and it is New England.
I watch the News and see the wars, I see the way the American Governement is being run and I shake my head. I see people being assasinated, shootings and violence at a greater rate than ever before in my life. I see prices rising, for food, housing, utilities and clothings and people struggling to survive. Now we face a possible Governement shutdown again, over political differences and neither side is going to back down. If one doesn’t Americans citizens you and I will suffer. People will go hungry, or homeless, jobs are disappearing, not appearing. The Tariff’s that are being put in place are hurting more than helping anyone. What many American’s do not understand is we the people pay for those tarriffs to be in effect. It’s far too expensive and unneccessary actually and they do more bad, than good. But, I have no power, except the power of the written word and free speech, to voice these concerns, I do, voice. One vote in an election can’t change the whole fabric, but many can. So, I just hope Americans will wake up soon and realize, they are getting screwed. Medicare under attack, Medicaid under attack, Veteran’s programs under attack, food prices rising, utility costs up, gas up, and so much more. What of the elderly, or disabled like me? What happens next folks, do we lose our Social Security or VA Benefits and payments? Trump promised to never touch either, will he keep that promise?
Time wil go on folks, and the world does turn, but, there are times when I wonder, do Americans know what they are doing? Do we realize we are killing our own way of life, democracy and the republic? I know, it’s crazy to say, but it is true. And while the world watches and laughs at us, we slowly begin to fade as a country and an empire in history. It happened, to so many others, before us and we have had a decent 250 year run, as a empire and leader. But, the slip is here, and we have begun the tumble that led to the end of so many empires in the past. Is America, about to follow the trend of others who lost it, are we dying out? You tell me Americans, will our Constitution, Our Bill Of Rights and Admendments hold up? Will we be able to keep Free Speech? Will will be able to have the freedoms we always had all my life, or will Americans lose it all folks? What’s next? When, TV shows are under attack, for free speech and jokes, something is very wrong in America!
