My fantasy football draft results

Here are the results of my 2016-17 fantasy football draft for the Sad Sack Slapjacks (the pic leaves off Carolina's D). Last year I finished third in our highly competitive league. Your thoughts?


GusGus and the Fishtank


 This is GusGus, heir to Billy, who in turn was heir to Lucky. Behind him is our 40 gallon fish tank. 


Whenever you press the button atop the tank to turn on the light, and/or open the curio cabinet to retrieve the fish food, this is what will happen:

GusGus will come running, from wherever he may be, and jump atop the table next to the fishtank. 

You must - and I stress MUST - shake a bit of the fish food into the cap of the bottle and hold it out for his dining pleasure. He will respond only for fish food, no mere "cat treat."


Once he has partaken, you are then allowed to feed the fish. He will then stare at the fish from his perch at he table, taunting them and forcing them to live every moment of their waking life with a predator a breath away from them. 

He's a charmer. LOL



The Gym


I went to the gym with Smiley this afternoon. We both did a nice circuit on the weight machines then fifteen minutes on the treadmill. He did great.

Chicken Soup

I do not know what compelled my mother-in law to make homemade chicken soup on a hot August day, or why she chooses to keep her A/C three degrees warmer than room temperature (!) But danged if that woman doesn't make a mean mean soup. The pot lasted all of ten minutes once it got home to our house. :)

Ripper Street

Ripper Street is affecting my speech. "It is a difficult task, to be sure. But I would ask it of you all the same," I said to YaYa. 

She called me on it and laughed. "Stop talking like a Victorian. I like our language. Bae, hoe, thot . . ."

Pool Party!

Junie and Smiley attended a pool party, complete with DJ, bounce house, and fire truck, at their Grandma's apartment complex. (Smiley refused to consent to photos)

Junie's Flowers

I bought Junie flowers this morning and she made them into this (her first ever) arrangement!




Sandee: 
Beautiful! It's so nice you buy your daughter flowers. It will be a wonderful memory for her one day, that her daddy bought her flowers!
