• August Athletic Summary

    Last month, I set a goal of burning 20,000 calories in August. I did it. Two days ago, I realized I was under 50 biking miles short of 400 for the month (100 per week average… that’s a good milestone).

    Eating dinner with the parents last night, we were discussing a family friend who had been rained out of a session of golf and received a rain check to make it up.

  • I’ve Drafted

    The friend league draft is complete. I’m working on putting together a work league, but it doesn’t seem to be panning out; too many nerds  This year, we decided to make it a keeper league. We’ll hold onto two players after the season, which will be in lieu of our draft picks from their round +2 (a guy I kept from the 3rd round…
