C.: One, One two, One two, One, two, three, four
Houston has the Astros, the greatest baseball team
They hit the ball from line to line and homer in between
We’re the … Houston Astros, Houston Astros, Houston Astros number one
Two, three, four
Our hitters are amazing,
Our pitchers are sublime,
The games are no longer interesting
‘Cause we never fall behind.
We’re the…Houston Astros, Houston Astros, Houston Astros number one.
d.: Yes, Cal.E. I see you found the answer to yesterday’s trivia question. The Houston Astros ARE the only team ever to represent both the National and American League in the World Series. But I have a trivia question of my own. Since the Astros represented each league in this century, they have also appeared in the World Series two other times. They have been to the World Series four times in this century, tying them with four other teams for most appearances in a World Series in the twenty-first century. Can you name the other four teams? (And if anyone can name all five teams before Cal.E. or me, I will donate $25.00 {or five dollars for each team named} to Victims First in your name to help the victims’ families of the school shooting at Robb Elementary School. Additionally, I will make a matching donation to the same organization.) Now, PLEASE stop running up and down the isles of the plane, or I will need to put you back in your cage! Delta does not like for you to be loose and cause trouble!
C.: Okay, dc., if you do not want me to sing the praises of my favorite baseball team or run up and down the aisle of the plane while we are flying to the home of the team that beat the Astros in last year’s World Series, let’s talk.
d.: About what?
C.: I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention

d. It will be HOT! Now please STOP singing! Some of the other passengers may think that I am hurting you!
C.: HOW HOT IS IT?! Tell me or I will count all the way to Atlanta…one, two, one, two, one two.
d.: It will be hot, but we should be able to handle the Georgia heat.
C.: Why are you so confident of that?!
d.: Because Cal.E., I have been to some of the hottest places on the face of the Earth and survived!
C.: Like where?
d.: THE hottest place I have ever been, was India in June! The second hottest place I have been was Thailand in July. Number three on my list is South Louisiana, any time between March and October. A close fourth, though, is Houston in August, and you have experienced that. We will be fine! Now, please let me finish this blog before we land in Atlanta!
Meanwhile, on Planet HTRAE
Buddy Bones: Darn! Wrong plane again! Cal.E. was not on that plane, either. I am growing weary of putting these humans back on the right track to complete their voyages. I will just do away with the next plane that does not have the ELAC’s mirror twin on it. I will just hurl the plane into this black hole. Humans are annoying, and they are useless on this planet. All animals have opposable thumbs here, and humans do not. They are not capable of doing anything useful, like giving me food. I will be doing the universe a favor by ridding it of its dead weight.
ELAC: Uh oh! The evil Dr. Buddy Bones is growing impatient with my procrastinating. I do NOT want him to be able to control the whole universe with his perpetual motion machine, though. I have completed the calculations. That is the reason I made the excuse to take a three-month sabbatical. None of my kittens were really very ill, I just did not want him to wield so much power!
I don’t mind my mirror twin’s youngest son traveling with the group of hippies Dr. Bones sent to Earth to kitten nap Ralph. They are harmless, and Ralph seems to enjoy singing with them. He may have even found his niche in life. But I cannot let Dr. Bones destroy innocent beings from another planet because I will not give him the correct mathematical equations to create a perpetual motion machine and take over the universe’s source of power. I must come up with a plan to stop him, but how?!
Yes, yes, THAT is an EXCELLENT idea….
Tune in tomorrow folks, and see if ELAC is able to save the universe from the evil Dr. Buddy Bones!
