“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.” Thomas A. Edison

Shumpty’s Punt: MLB Post Season (AL Wildcard Playoff)
After 162 games, Major League Baseball is now into the post season which kicks off in Kansas City for the American League Wild Card Playoff between the Kansas City Royals and the Oakland Athletics. This should be a great playoff with two pitching aces, Shields and Lester, on the mound.
I am backing the Royals in this playoff: it is has been 23 years since they have been to the post season and, playing at home, will ride a massive wave of support.
Bet: Kansas City Royals to defeat the Oakland Athletics paying $1.91 (on ladbrokes.com.au at the time of writing).
As always:
- Please gamble responsibly.
- All care is taken with these tips however no responsibility vests for losses incurred.

Mojo … where art thou?
I have been fairly slack of late in posting here save for quotes of the day and betting tips. I was pondering on my train to work this morning that fact and realized that I have lost my writing mojo. Normally, when I do not post here for a while it is because I have just been too busy to commit the time to writing because I find I need to give myself time to construct the posts I put on here. Whilst I have been busy in my new role and doing renovations, I have also found myself of late sitting in front of my computer screen / with the wordpress iPad app open and not having the words come.
I have no clue when my mojo is going to come back: I would love it to be soon but even as I write these words I am struggling for inspiration. Maybe cricket season starting in the near future will help get the writing “juices” flow. In any event: normal service shall resume at some point when the mojo returns!
