Week of Nov 10 - 17
Personal: This is my first instance of my NEW Weekly Posting. Rather than posting little bits and pieces, I have decided to condense all my weeks thoughts into one post to be done on Saturday Evenings (with any occasional special posts as needed).
Fantasy Football: Well, week 10 was both good and bad for my teams. In my Paladin League I lost a fairly close one, but I had such a lead in that league a loss isn't such big deal (especially in light of the other team tied with me in record - Pugballs - lost as well). In Freaks and Geeks I won a hard fought battle pushing me more solidly into 2nd place. Right now I am just looking for one of the top 2 rungs of the playoff ladder so I have a week 1 bye. I went 2-3 in my 'other' leagues, keeping my firm eye on the playoffs in ALL. It's now "Run and Gun" to the playoffs now that all the bye weeks are over and as NFL teams make the playoff, some star players may sit, making the end of the season exciting.
Some major injuries this week will impact some teams (as has been all season):
Adrian Peterson - Strained MRI (out at least 1 week)
Larry Johnson - Right Mid Foot Sprain (out week 11)
Steve McNair - Non Throwing Shoulder Injury (out 3-4 weeks)
Dwight Freeney - Left Foot (possibly out for rest of season)
Pinmasters Bowling: Well, Week we bowled our 'other' rival team on Tuesday, November 13th and did real well. We ended up sweeping them, taking all 4 games. A strong night by Wayne, Harry, and myself; combined with a sub par performance by a trio of their better bowlers allowed us this precious sweep. So far this year we are 7-1 versus our rival teams. Next week we bowl the bye team and our rivals, the Shanks and Split Happens bowl each other, so depending on how things work out, we could definitely move up in the standings (currently at 7th).
Professionally Speaking: I've been working a LOT on my game Rhom. I might add that it is coming along rather nicely! Being that it is a heavily statistical type game, there is a lot of algorithms that I've needed to implement. I am still expecting around a January 1st initial deployment. If you come across this and are interested in Statistical Turn Based Role Playing Games (STBRPG) and might want to consider beta testing with me, email me at rhom AT crabisland.biz ad we can work on setting you up an account. Watch this space as 2008 is going to be very exciting.
Bitches and Gripes: Nothing pisses me off more than the way people drive! This week it as even worse, as I headed into work one day and got stuck behind a local transit official (RideOCT). Now you would think that being an employee for an organization that promotes good transportation would have some clue as to how to drive. Anyways, I got stuck behind one that was doing 25 in a 35 zone (and regularly travels at 40+). This person needed to really get a grip on things as they held up a huge line of traffic (including myself). Get with the program people. We all need to share those spaces so we ALL need to be diligent in making sure we not only do the things that help us communicate with each other, but ensure we do not impede and/or negatively impact each other on our journeys.
