Not to have too many dog posts, but I did manage to get all three to look up at the same time. The pic of the Tres Amigos, who we also call the Hounds of Bradleyvilles, are shown on the couch, which they have claimed as their own. It is good we humans are around to buy them furnishings of their own. We put the blankets down so when guests come over of the two legged variety they don’t get covered in hair from sitting down.
Fantasy Football – My team, the Arizona Monsoon clinched its 20th winning season last week and won this week against its arch nemesis the Las Vegas Aces despite having been a pregame 44 point underdog. One more win and I can clinch a playoff spot. I know, pretty nerdy, but it’s a passion of mine. This season has been rough, I lost Peyton Manning for the year, one day after the draft…sigh. His trainer should have given me a heads up. I also lost Cutler to a shattered thumb and Darren McFadden to a bad foot. I had some good ones though. I managed to draft Cam Newton way deep in the draft and I picked up Ron Gronkowski (The Gronk, who just set the all-time TD record for a Tight End in one season) undrafted a week or two into the season. Cobbling together a team from throwaways and undrafted walk-ons is not easy, but we are 9-5 and tied for our Division lead right now against my daughter’s sadly named Fairyland Frogs team. We have just one more game in our 15 game season before the playoffs. Wish me luck. I am up against my good friend and nemesis Earl Bray, of the New Canaan Nor’Easters. His team sucks this year because he decided to golf on draft day and let the computer auto-pick. A poor decision on his part, but he has been playing spoiler in recent weeks.
