Wow, Another NFL-Free Sunday -- October 22, 2017 -- Nothing About The Bakken

Sophia is over at the house to spend an afternoon with me. Her mom, an older sister and Grammy are going out to lunch. Sophia has already been to Hall's Pumpkin Patch today which is just down the street from where we live. We pass it every day on the way to Tutor Time and it's within walking distance.

Meanwhile, Sophia's oldest sister is in Annapolis, MD, at "Navy," participating in national water polo tournament. Tomorrow her dad and she have plans to tour Washington, DC, before she flies home.

If that's not enough:

• NASCAR
• finish J. Randy Taraborrelli's biography of the Conrad Hilton dynasty
• play with this interactive history of the stock market
• update the Bakken blog
• some time at the local park with Sophia
• share "Red, White, and Blue" ice cream with Sophia (ice cream by the #1 ice cream maker in Texas, Blue Bell; a half gallon regularly priced at $5.99 on sale for $2.99

 So, an NFL-free Sunday. Priceless.

NASCAR

Wow, wow, wow.

Only two stories for me for this:

• if Martin Truex, Jr., will hold on to win; and, 
• whether Jimmy Johnson will advance; he's on the bubble

Great race.
