A Busy Week

Last Tuesday, I played in a home cash game that someone decided was needed because playing every other week is just not often enough. It started as Limit Hold'em and after too many people showed up, we split into two tables and my table switched to No Limit where I was able to win back most of what I squandered at the Limit table. They played again this week, but Laura was out of town, so I had a very good excuse to not have to go. I am going to attempt to register for Graduate School tomorrow and if all goes well, I will have classes on Monday and Tueday nights, so that will put a stop to any poker playing.

Since Kevin started Kindergarten last Friday and Abby is now full-time in preschool, I have had a lot of free time. I am on the substitute teacher list for both Madison City and Madison County schools, but as it is very early in the school year, I have not yet been called. With nothing overly important to do, and with this freakin awesome weather we have been having with cooler temps and lower humidity, I have been playing a fair amount of golf. I played well Friday (62* at tee off), terrible on Saturday (60*), awesome yesterday (shot 77 with temps in the low 80's) and I played good this morning with the heat and humidity moving back in.

I am very excited about this upcoming weekend because I have my Fantasy Football draft in Nashville. This year we are down from 12 teams to 10. I have the number two pick in the first round, but it is a snake draft which puts my second round round pick at number nine (19th overall). Barring injury, I will be taking either LaDanian Tomlinson or Tom Brady in the first round. This will be my third year playing and I made the playoffs, but lost in the first round two consecutive years. The 2006/7 playoff loss was due to injuries, but last season was just a matter of thinking too much and not starting the right players.

For those of you who are not keeping up, College Football, my favorite sport to watch, begins two weeks from today. There are televised games Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday on opening weekend!! USC @ Virgina, and Tennessee @ UCLA are interesting matchups, but the game of the weekend has to be Alabama @ Clemson in the Georgia Dome Saturday night at 8 ET on ABC.
