A week ago, Laura and I took the kids to Cali for a 5-day whirlwind trip that included Legoland, Disneyland, 12 people sharing 1 vacation rental, a fairytale wedding and 100-degree weather. The kids had a blast, it was great hanging out with my family, and my cousin Shane tied the knot with his Princess. By the way, did I say that it was hot? To this day, I just don't understand why Man insists on living in desert climates, by choice. Silly people.
Check out these vids of the kids:
Enjoy!

Online Mock Drafts...A cure for the fantasy football jones
It's the first day of the long weekend and I've just spent a couple hours doing really important stuff--preparing for the joy that is Fantasy Football Draft Day sometime every August.
I'm a Yahoo fan for team management during the year, but for mock draft goodness both ESPN.com and CBS Sportsline.com have tools that do the job just fine. I think the latter is the only major site that has their online mocks working right now. Click here if you want to give it a shot.
Here's how I did when picking 1st in a 10-Team mock:
Man, I really need to get my fat bum outside in the fresh air.

- Tomlinson, LaDainian RB SD
- Colston, Marques WR NO
- Brees, Drew QB NO
- Turner, Michael RB ATL
- Boldin, Anquan WR ARI

Man, I really need to get my fat bum outside in the fresh air.

Sonics to get another top pick?

The probability table is fun at first.
That fun becomes a bit of a nightmare when one realizes the possibility of adding Derrick Rose to Durant and Green and then watching them turn into contenders IN OKLAHOMA CITY.
I just can't wait for the Football Season to begin.

Disposable Children?

Although I've been an avid blog reader for many years, this is the first time that I've felt compelled to actually start writing.
After reading this article, I literally felt like puking. As a proud father of 2 beautiful (and beautifully messy) kids, I simply cannot fathom what circumstance or state of mind would allow me to "return" my kids the same way we do with library books or dvd rentals.
This makes me sad, angry, frustrated, and more sad. What a world we live in.
