Day 59

Can we just get passed these next couple of weeks? I have a lot to get accomplished before Leah, Casey, and I head to Arizona to relax and visit my in laws. I absolutely love it out there. It is such a different world from the craziness of the city here. It isn't half as crowded. The weather this time of year is great - perfect golf weather. During the day it is in the mid to high 60's with zero humidity and at night it gets cool. We go out there every year at this time. Basically the trip consists of relaxation, movies, shopping, and eating. These next two weeks can't go by fast enough for me.

I just finished my worst fantasy football season of alltime. I was literally the worst team in the league after winning back to back years. I have moved over into paying more attention to the actual games themselves and I will say this, there is so bad football being played. Other than the Colts, its bad football. I watched Jacksonville play last week and they have one of the best records in the league. They wouldn't win 6 games if this were 1987. The Cowboys/Chiefs game was very entertaining, but both teams took turns trying to let the other team win. I've said this once, I'll say it again, Gambling and Fantasy Football is masking this sub-par product they are putting out there every week.

Would you consider me strange if I told you that I love getting a pedicure?

I watched the Survivor finale last night, it was solid. Leah and I were big Survivor fans, then we stopped watching for probably 4 seasons or so before picking this one back up. It was a great season. Anyways, the winner (if you don't want to know who won, stop reading here) was this woman who was from Kansas, Danni. She had said during the show that she was a big Kansas basketball fan and that the team seems to get close to winning it all every year, but can't seem to do so, so she wanted to bring a championship to Kansas. Classic. Anyways, this woman is very tall and skinny. I saw her done up at the reunion show and she was smokin hot when she was all cleaned up. Then I read she was a former Miss Kansas. Remember where you heard this first, she will definitely be in Playboy.

It was good to hear that others, not just me, were very confused by the movie Syriana that we saw on Saturday night. My friend Sheri saw it yesterday and was in the same boat. We also ran into Jessica's future sister and brother in law at the grocery store yesterday and they saw it as well. They are both a lot smarter than I am and they said they were confused as well. Now I don't feel so dumb. I have decided that I have to see it again at some point, knowing what I know, and maybe that will help me understand it better.

Just heard that Stan Van Gundy, the head coach of the Miami Heat resigned due to "family reasons" and now Pat Riley is coming down from the president job to take over as head coach. That is a bunch of crap. This is what I hate about pro sports. A story was out there all summer that Riley has the "itch" to coach again, but there is no way he could fire Van Gundy. They are 11-10 and Shaquille O'Neal hasn't played since the second game of the season. Riley added a bunch of me-first veterans to their mix in the offseason, almost setting Van Gundy up to fail. Why can;t anyone in pro sports be honest for once and say the REAL reason someone is fired or "resigned." Riley should have the balls to come out and say "you know what, I think I want to coach again and think I can do better than Stan, that is why I am taking over." That family reasons garbage is just that, garbage.
