Gayle, DH & I are baseball fans too. Cloudy here too!
Paine, sorry about the poor sleep. Hope everyone is otherwise doing well this week!

Don't be too scared...it's not the Yankess ore the Mets!
(Although, as an aside, the Mets were a World Series team in 1986, my first year of college. That was back when everyone watched TV communally, and there were a lot of people from MY/Mets fans at my college, so I did get swept up onto the bandwagon then.) I grew up in Southern NJ; contrary to popular belief, this area is 1) very different from North NJ and not at all like Jersey Shore, and 2) a suburb of Philadelphia, not New York City. The Eagles are big there, but I always preferred baseball and was a Phillies fan throughout my childhood. Their World Series win (in 1980, when I was 12) was huge!!! I also got to go to one of the games of their 1983 World Series (which they lost). (As a second aside, virtually everyone in my extended family is a HUGE Eagles fan! I always remember football as being part of our Thanksgivings when I was growing up. My mom's two brothers were always especially big fans, so it was kind of a hoot when one of my cousins married the son of a famous Eagles player from the late 70s/early 80s, Howard Carmicheal. He was actually at Thanksgiving with us this year, and DH loved talking to him. He is the nicest guy and just made the football HOF.)

Gayle, it was a great series! And the Phillies NCLS against the Astros was awesome too. I just recently looked up this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjMFdNN2ZEs Sandra, my friend's father worked for NBC (or CBS?), so he got a lot of free baseball tickets. I went to a lot of games with them, probably mostly in the 1982-83 range. So I didn't pay anything for my WS tickets! I actually only half-finished my first message...I am no longer a Phillies fan! DH grew up watching the Atlanta Braves (because they were always on TBS back then), and over time, I slow converted with him. Although I started becoming a Braves fan by around 1991 (DH lived with me that summer, and we were both very into the whole season, including the playoffs), I was a little torn in 1993, when the Phillies played the Braves. I was living in Philly going to grad school at that time...I was rooting for the Braves in the in end, but the Phillies won, and of course that was huge there too.

Carolyn, the black bean brownie recipe I use is from Chocolate Covered Katie. I have served them to people who don't like "healthy" recipes and they never know! I made everyone guess the secret ingredient this time and no one could figure it out.
