The best time for sports!

I missed the games yesterday.  I forgot to DVR them, too, so I'm just out of luck.  I did see the play in the Pittsburgh/Baltimore game where everyone thought the play was dead, except that one guy who smartly picked up the football and ran to the end zone.

It seemed the whistle didn't blow.  When everyone else quit, one guy, one very smart guy, didn't and scored an easy touchdown.

I really enjoy playoff football.  All year, everyone was talking about Atlanta who met the resurgent Packers and judging by the score, that was just a beat-down!  I was surprised the Steelers/Ravens game was as high scoring as it was for two teams noted for great defense.

I'm excited to see what happens with the Seattle/Chicago game today; equally excited about the Jets/Pats game, too.  A 7-9 team is two games away from the Super Bowl.

One thing I really missed was my fantasy football league this year.  It's fun to talk a little smack with your friends during a friendly competition.  Our league is a bit competitive.  If you don't finish in the top 8, you get sent to the "D" league.  With everything going on in my life and my friends lives, I kinda missed out on the "D" league this year too.  Probably a good thing for me... I had a bit of stuff going on that was taking my attention.  Maybe next year, I'll get my "D" league invite.

I like football, but it's not my passion.  I'm more of a baseball guy.  I saw an update the other day from ESPN which said "Only thirty days until pitchers and catchers report."  To someone who loves the game, those are promising words.  Everyone starts out even and you hope against hope that the Dodgers will actually have a decent rotation and solid bullpen, built around some good power hitters and key position players.  And then there's always the hope that the THIS will be the year the American League quits playing softball (last time I checked, 10 on a line-up card was softball) and makes their pitchers pick up a bat.  Of course, your hopes and expectations may vary.

College basketball is also in full swing and I really need to start paying some attention to that.  March Madness will begin before you know it.  I work so much I don't have time to watch a game here or there and I need to remember that I'm paying for the DVR service, so I should use it.  June figured out how it works and it mostly gets used to record her "stories".

Monday is a holiday.  If the snow melts, I'm going to clean up after the dog (YUCK!) and pull out the ice fishing gear and get it ready for "Eskimo V".

That's it for today.  Have a great day, y'all!

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
