Here is a picture of my beautiful wife. I recently turned 40 and she did a lot of work in putting of a great party for me. We had a ton of people in our home and she even tried to surprise me, having my mom and in-laws (are in-laws coming to your birthday party really a present?) come out from Oregon. She tried to surprise me, but she should know after all these years that I am a very difficult person to surprise. She did a great job on the party and for my present, she is taking me to DisneyWorld in Orlando. 8 days with no kids, although it seems a little weird to go to the "Happiest place on earth" and not have your kids with you.... I think we will survive. Bottom line, my wife is the best. She keeps me sane in a world and life of insanity.

I will post pictures of the party when Rene' gets them downloaded to my computer.

I have been playing fantasy football for 7 years now and I have never had a weekend that I had this last one. My league (the melonheads) switched our service from Yahoo! to ESPN because ESPN had more options. It all sounds good, just one little problem..... ESPN can't handle the amount of traffic they are getting on their fantasy football website.
I tried on 5 different occasions last Saturday to update my roster only be told the server was busy. My roster this weekend was a bunch of scrubs that Matt Lettington put in because he was the one that filled in our teams. My players this week were a bunch of no-names that shouldn't even be on the football field, let alone my fantasy team.
Today (Tuesday) when I looked to see how my no-name team did over the weekend, thinking that by chance I might have pulled out a surprise win... NOOOOOOOO. I get the message that the ESPN fantasy football website is experiencing technical difficulties. Ya think! I can't even find out how I did with the roster I didn't even want to play.
I want to go back to Yahoo!
