Argh!

We're not even officially done with the first week of Fantasy Football and I already hate it. Stupid game!

Steven and I debated whether to start Tom Brady or Brett Favre this week. Steven was concerned that Brady wasn't going to start. I was convinced that he would because the Patriots are notorious for their misleading injury reporting.

So, we started Brady and Brady did start the game. But then got banged in the knee and is out for the season. There goes our first round fantasy pick. He got us a whopping 3 points before being done for the year.

How did Favre do? Well, he threw for 2 touchdowns and 194 yards and would have scored us 18 points. Considering that we're down by 14 going into tonight's action, we certainly could have used those points.

We also tried to be smart about our starting defense. We have Green Bay and Detroit. Green Bay's going to have a tough game against Minnesota and Detroit was playing Atlanta. Everyone's been talking about how Atlanta's offense is going to stink. so we started Detroit.

What happened with the Defense decision? Atlanta lit Detroit up like a Christmas tree by scoring 34 points. Our Defense got us zero points. Our opponents scored him 17.

Steven called me in the afternoon and said, "So, pretty much Fantasy Football ruins watching football for you, doesn't it?" I replied, "Yep." He was sick we hadn't started Favre. So was I. I think we made the right call on starting Brady but the football gods are incredibly cruel.

Stupid game!

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
