It’s the Friday before Halloween (or “Harvest Festival” night where evangelicals like to lock their doors). I’ll have a few posts coming up to talk about Halloween. Should be a riot.
Until then…enjoy the Friday List.
- Last night’s Game 6 of the World Series was an incredible game. I realized that I’ve seen the last three walk-off homers in Games 6 or 7 in the World Series: Kirby Puckett (1991), Joe Carter (1993), and David Freese (2011). I’m calling Cards winning tonight, 6-4.

- With the death of Google Buzz, it raises questions about the survival of Google+.
