4.20. Reflections on a Thursday Night

To start, the double click is a growing nightmare. Once again I only clicked once and failed to actually publish Waiver Wednesday, so here I am deep into Thursday night trying to publish a late blog. This is the way things go when I am drained and or deeply anticipating something. I’ve been deeply anticipating the move to the new house. Not only is it a fresh start, but we have a pool! I know the ‘new’ of a pool will wear off, but by then it will be cold again and when it gets hot again I’ll feel like it is a new new!

Now that we have completed the heavy lifting all I feel is drained. My body is kind of a mess these days. I recognize that I am on a dangerous path. I can see it in my habits and actions. I can also see how far I am from others who are suffering from their habits. In short, I’m very privileged and very lucky to live the life I do. I am grateful for each day I get to live it.

Some Thoughts:

  1. The newest thing in ASMR is a series of chiropractors close recording their sessions so we hear the cracks. Nuts. Strangely enticing to hear the pop though. Take this as something that feels like what I do to myself all the time and makes me feel a little more normal to know others do it… of course listening to it is very much not normal despite the 300K plus views. How many of those are bots?
  2. Now that I’m on the chiro kick I am thinking about how long it will be before I go back and get mine done.
  3. That is the thing with algorithms. One day this sort of thing just showed up in my feed–after I was having back problems. The algorithm (as I call it) adjusts to my search criteria and shows me what it thinks I want to see–or more likely what it thinks will convince me to buy X,Y, Z.

4.19. Wavier Wednesday

So… I’m back in the fantasy game.

I took a long time away from the game and now I am ready to return. I think a catalyst of this is being asked to play (naturally). That is part of the story but the rest is really about the way players I enjoy moving across the league in interesting ways. I am excited about a number of WRs and RBs for sure. I don’t know the rules for the new league, but I know that I am going to devise a strategy to be successful.

One player to look at for sure is Browns WR Jarvis Landry. So much attention is focused on Beckham and what he might do, but Landry might be the best slot in the game. His hands, his routes… the dude can cause damage. The problem is he was set up to be a stretch 1 in the O set, and that is not his strength.

RB? That is a really good question. Obviously the Giants have a top 5 guy, but he is gonna be a first rounder. I am looking for B-list guys who can excel in their system. I’m looking at Gordon’s backup out in San Diego for starters..

At any rate, it is good to be back.

Some Thoughts:

  1. There is a mosquito buzzing around my office. It has been here for days and I cannot kill it. I think it is going to win. I think it is going to drive me insane… or kill me…
