Moments #12: The Halloween That Nearly Wasn’t


I stood out on the front porch and watched as the sky went from being blue to being dark and gray in a matter of minutes.  That was the year that fall came early and almost all the leaves were gone by the end of October.  But just as the leaves fell early, so did the storms arrive ahead of schedule.  It rained hard during the afternoon and probably panicked everyone looking forward to spending the night collecting candy.

The rain stopped before evening came and that night, costumed searchers and their parents walked up and down the sidewalks, running up to houses and shouting, “Trick or Treat!”  I was alone that Halloween so I dressed up like a cat and handed out candy.  Everyone was extra grateful because they knew that if the storm had started just an hour later, there would have been no Halloween that year.

The Rangers Do Not Win Game 2 Of The World Series


I don’t want to talk about it.

Congratulations to the Diamondbacks, though.  They clapped back tonight and let all of us Rangers fans know that they’re going to be tough and worthy opponents.  The World Series is now tied up and moving to Arizona for the next three games.  No matter how it ends, I hope the final game is played in Arlington.

Go Rangers!

The Rangers Win Game One Of The World Series!


Tonight, my team, the Texas Rangers, won game one of the World Series!  We were trailing when we went into the 9th but we tied it up with two runs and then, in the 11th inning, Adolis Garcia hit a home run and took us to a 6-5 victory over the Diamondbacks!

The Diamondbacks played a good game and this World Series isn’t close to being over.  But, for now, I’m just happy and excited for my team! I’m proud of them!

GO RANGERS!
