UPDATE - Fantasy Football teams have drafted.

For all of those in the fantasy football league go and take a look at your team. The league drafted overnight and so the season can officially start now.

As far as my team is concerned I can tell already that I am going to to want to work a trade or two or my team will be in trouble...

What do you think of your team? Anyone want to trade?

A few updates...

-Last week was a really brutal week at work. In addition to just coming back from vacation I was asked to take on a whole lot of additional work. Back to the days where I had an assistant kind of work. Not sure what I'm going to do but I certainly don't really have any blog/twitter time anymore. Last week was so bad I came home from work Friday very close to a full blown anxiety attack. Thank goodness for the weekend. Hopefully this week will be better but that is yet to be seen. (and hopefully I get a chance to get caught up on reading your blogs)

-Our new roof is going on the house today. This makes me very happy. Insurance took care of the entire replacement cost including the garage that was not effected (so that the shingles will match) Yay, One less thing we need to take care of before selling this house! Now if we could just get someone to take care of paying to replace the carpet.

-If you are a member of the blog and twitter Fantasy football league please make sure that you are ready for the draft. This time next Monday I will be turning on the draft so there will be plenty of time to make trades after the draft is over.

-We found out this past week that Lil Doc will be starting soccer this coming Saturday. Nothing could make me happier. He is excited too. I don't think this 3 year old soccer is going to much resemble the World Cup but it's organized team soccer where I think he will benefit not only from the running around (and getting tired out) but also taking direction and learning rules from someone other that my wife and I. Several of his friends are on the same team so all the parents are going to hang out and watch. And it's safe to assume a few pictures will be taken.

-Summer reading quest update. I am halfway through year six in my summer quest to re-read the Harry Potter series. I am still really enjoying it. Great summer reads. I would be finished except that I took a break and read the new Daniel Silva book while on vacation last week. (The Rembrandt Affair by Silva was great and I highly recommend it as well) Should finish up the Potter Series in about 5- 7 days. Then want to try books recommended to me by The Mt. Cat by Dennis Lehane.

-Is anyone else left a little bit angry that accused Craigslist killer Philip Markoff committed suicide this weekend? This is a person who deserved to have to answer for what he was accused of doing (and apparently did) in a court of law. Suicide is the chicken way out.

Fantasy Football update!

As I am still trying to get caught up at work I wanted to remind everyone in the blog and twitter league to go in and make sure they have their pre-ranking of their players done. This is key to making sure you get players that you want and maybe more importantly NOT getting players you don't want. The draft is still over a week and a half away but it never hurts to be prepared. Drop me an email or comment with any questions and yes I promise that YJKOBT will return when I get time to make a proper post.

Back from vacation....

I'm back from vacation and at work trying to get caught up. We had a great trip that was lots of fun including my son catching his first fish, one of the highlights for sure! Let me get caught up today and hopefully I can update things tomorrow.
Until then here is a picture of Lil Doc proudly showing his first fish!

This Blog is on Vacation

I will be back next week so please don't forget about me while I'm off on the NOFO having fun. Enjoy this Picasso painting of Don Quixote while I'm gone. My parents have this painting (minus the On vacation part) in their house and I love it. (and don't forget to pre-rank your fantasy football players as the draft is not far away)

It all Starts Today

My very favorite sports teams season kind of unofficially gets under way today and I'm excited. The 2010 Carolina Panthers season starts today when the players report to training camp in Spartanburg SC. It's just the beginning of a long season that unlike any in recent years will feature a lot more changes and a lot of uncertainty. With uncertainty can come optimism. So today I find myself cautiously optimistic. Oh what the heck I will admit it. I'm fired up.... BRING ON FOOTBALL SEASON !!

Is anyone else fired up and ready for football season? Let me know who you pull for High School, College, Pros, All three? i love all three myself but there is just something extra special about the NFL for me. Lemme know who is excited out there that it's almost here. For you NFL fans this time next year there very likely will be no football so lets enjoy this year!

Worst Person of the Week 7/27/10

OK folks, It's time for this weeks installment of Worst Person. Last week we had an epic battle between Rachel Uchetel and The Cast of Jersey Shore. As with everything it seems recently the cast won! This week a few new nominees. Some of which you might not be familiar with.

Melinda Dennehy - This 41 year old former teacher joins the ranks of the Hot for teacher crowd as yesterday she pleaded guilty to a charge she e-mailed nude photographs of herself to a 15-year-old student. And in the process is becoming a bit of an internet sensation like Debra Lefave. Apparently she was getting career advice from Mary Kay Letourneau. Shameful.

Andrew Brietbart - Andrew makes the list not only because he is a blowhard but because he posted an edited video of USDA employee Shirley Sherrod trying to defend the Tea Party movement by showing that the NAACP is actually racist. Ms. Sherrod was promptly fired and then when the whole context came out many apologies and back-tracking took place. Make sure you get it right the first time when it's this inflammatory Andrew.

Alvin Greene - The true accidental candidate from South Carolina who besides completely unknown, having little money, and apparently not too much common (or political) sense won SC's Democratic primary and will face incumbent Senator Jim DeMint in the fall. He makes the list this week for endorsing a rap song for his campaign that was meant to poke fun at him. If this guy can run it makes almost wish I had run for Senate when I lived in SC.

St. Louis Pigeons - No that's not the name of a sports team it's actually birds which in this case caused the cancellation of a Kings of Leon concert in St. Louis this past weekend after repeatedly pooping in bassist Jared Followill's mouth. YUCK! But worse than that fans only got to hear three songs. Something tells me that there is gonna be some pigeon-cide in St. Louis this week.

There are your nominees folks. Please vote in the poll and leave your comments on who you think this week's worst person is. I can't wait to read these comments!

-Doc

(Just a side note. Worst Person of the Week will be on vacation with me next week and will return the following week. Maybe we will have to do a super sized version)

Roof Damage

The other part of our camping trip that I don't think I discussed on here was the damage we got in a windstorm while we were gone. We came home to find shingles blown off the roof and water damage on the interior of our master bedroom "popcorn' ceiling. The damage was not quite as extensive as this image I found on google but similar. I met with a contractor on Friday and he thinks to prevent it from happening again we need to have the entire roof replaced. *gulp* Since we don't have $7-9 Grand just laying around we quickly called our insurance company. Since I work in the insurance industry I am of course highly suspicious of insurance companies and just spoke with them. Of course they can't come and look until next week when I am up in NY. But it sounds like everything will be taken care of. Anxiety doing much better today than it was this weekend.
Anyone else ever had any roof/storm/shingle damage? Please tell me it all worked out OK.
