Out With The Old In With The New (original)

Hello Grafted In Readers,

Today is Sept. 30, 2025 in my corner of blog land and predicted to be a mostly sunny day with temps in the high seventies or low twenties Celsius.

Here in the U.S., the Federal Government faces the prospect of a temporary shutdown at midnight tonight, eastern time. Of course, officials may come up with something to keep the lights on and the money flowing.

Also here, post-season major league baseball games begin today. This will lead up to two teams contending in the MLB World Series in late October.

Do you have some major accomplishments to commemorate during October?

I began reading a psych thriller two days ago titled, The Argument. The author is one Victoria Jenkins. It's quite captivating and will likely hold one's attention when reading this title.

As to my forthcoming book, From My Red Chair, I am adding two or three more short stories to increase the page count by one-third to one-half the total.

I will release it hopefully in February just before the National Reading Month begins, March 2026. Of late, I have been addressing some tech issues with my seven-month-old computer.

The Jewish High Holy Days or Holidays are in progress. The culminating day will be Yom Kippur, The Day Of Atonemen. Accordingly, this goes from sundown Wednesday Oct 1st, until sundown Oct. 2nd.

I wish to thank you for stopping by. Would you please Invite a friend virtual or otherwise to visit this blog? I close with a health note about vegetables offered by the Mayo Clinic.

Finally, did you know Mayo Clinic recommends that adults aim to fill half their plate with fruits and vegetables at every meal, which translates to roughly five to seven servings of fruits and vegetables per day, with a greater emphasis on vegetables for a total of four or more servings of vegetables daily, as suggested in their Mediterranean diet plan. 

May God continue to bless and keep us.

Mellow Ropck
