My apologies for the lack of productivity on the blog lately. There’s nothing wrong with the eye gaze or with me — besides still having ALS — so there’s no need to wonder what’s going on with your friendly neighborhood quadripleege. I’m a-otay!
Here’s what I’ve been up to:
Preparing for another season of Fantasy Football. Longtime readers will recall Fehmeen’s absolute disdain for the hobby but she had a last-minute change of heart when she appeared on draft day with my league’s entry fee wearing an Al Davis-approved white jogging suit. I knew she was good to go when she told me to “just win, baby!”
Making spreadsheets with Google docs. Since my eye gaze system didn’t come with Office installed on it — and not to mention that it lacks a cd drive — I’ve had to make do without Excel (or even Word). Thank goodness for Google docs! I was able to create a fancy spreadsheet to use on draft day.
In case you were curious, you should be rooting for Vikings RB Adrian Peterson, Falcons WR Roddy White and Saints QB Drew Brees to do well this year as they were my top three picks. If only to make my wife happy by getting our money back at least.
Playing Hearts. It took me a few games to get back into a winning strategy mindset, but I think I’m almost there. Being short suited is helpful as is having relatively low valued hearts. One of these days I may forsake the safety of the desktop and venture online for some human competition.
I share Fehmeen’s distaste for Fantasy Football… but you are still my favorite quadripleege.
You know who to contact when you want human competition at cards.
I meant to tell you that I like your “stroke the furry walls” reference….
it is so true!! We should all do it.
er…calm down, …ya, thats what I meant… 🙂

I was so inspired by viewing Peter Sellers in The Party on tv last night, I named my team Birdy Num Nums. I had to mention it here because only one person in the league will get the reference. I am hoping to double that number with this mention.
The first time I saw that movie, we were at the house on 39th and we were verrrrrrry hung over! I think it must’ve been the morning after the Exotic Erotic, since John & I stayed over. It was a little painful at the time, but subsequent viewings were much more amusing…
YES! Is this the league with the $200 entry fee? And like you, I was lucky to get Adrian Peterson, though I’d much rather see Aaron Rodgers have a great year.
