Astros and homework

The Astros lost.

That’s not big news to most of you because you already know it. It is amazing to me how the mood of everyone on this side of Texas declined. It’s like we lost a war or a president died or something.

What amazes me more is how many people have become baseball fans. My daughter Tori watched the last two games with great interest. One of her teachers told the class if the Astros go to the World Series there would be no home work. Tori paid attention every strike and ball. She went crazy screaming for joy when the Astros did something worthy of cheering.

Today there will be homework for Tori’s class … But hey! There’s always next year.

You know, it wasn't just limited to high schools and lower. Nobody really got anything done around the campus of SHSU (of course, that could be because of more than just the Astros, but I'm not one to judge). You would have thought the professors had cancelled class even though class did not intefere with the game (yes, it was written that way for a reason, think about it). Way to go Astros, give us hope for next season.
