Took a break from the ‘hard go’ of my vacation to catch up on a few needed hours of rest and to publish all of these blogs I’ve been writing and collecting in wi-fi free space. In fact, I took a day to simply recharge physically and mentally as I move forward into the new week. I think this ought to be the way. I firmly feel that Sundays are for rest and relaxation and just the straight kick back–be it watching football or what have you. So long as you are with who you love the day holds so much promise. All days do.
I had a pretty solid Sunday. We took the bus down to a breakfast spot that turned out to be utter trash, but we walked home and that was more than enough to make up for it. Afterwards it was chillax central for the rest of the good time I had with my partner for the day. Makes me happy to know that I have a person in my life who, merely being with them, makes the day worth being a part of.
Some Thoughts:
- Over the last two years my family fantasy league did not pay out. This year I’m having the kids each put in $20, which should cover part of the winnings. I used a payout calculator to determine the payouts for the league this year and they are as follows: $100 for the ‘ship, $50 for second place, $5/week for top score of the week, $20 for highest scoring team overall (considering raising it to $30 or splitting the difference @$25) . This puts the overall purse at up to $200 in prizes. That means my personal contribution to the league would be $60, with the remaining seven people providing the rest. It also means multiple people could earn back buy in. That’s a good look for a family league. Oh, and there is the matter of trophies for first and last place.
