Every year, I host the Emidor Football League Pro Pickem’ game. This is open to any of my friends and is most definitely a laid back competition. All you have to do is pick the teams you think are going to win each week and give some points for a couple of games as a tie breaker.

I would really like all my friends to participate.

So you if are interested in joining, visit this website: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem

The password is knoll

It is going to be fun having you participate!

So I updated my WordPress today… and in the process I lost all my posts since October!  ARGH!!!

Fortunately, I linked everything to Facebook, so I have a backup.  But now I have to spend the time recreating them.  So if you are an avid reader, you’ll think you are experiencing a serious case of Deja Vu.  Here we go again…

My healing is progressing nicely. It only hurts when I twist that way… solution… don’t twist that way! My buddy Josh and I tramped through the woods yesterday and stumbled over logs and bushwhacked our way to finding 15 caches, and I did just fine. Was pretty tuckered and sore at the end of the day. But no ill effects this morning. So, I’m thinking the worst of my battle is over. Jen still says I walk funny, but I think that may be normal!

Next update should be a clean bill of health from the Orthopedic surgeon.

Congratulations – Kara Maurer, trumpet, and Ian Powers, clarinet, were accepted to the 2009 MENC All-Northwest Honor Band to be held in Spokane in February. This honor means that Kara and Ian are among the top musicians from Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho and Montana. If you know Kara and Ian or see them this week, congratulate them for me!

I don’t typically repost things from TV on my blog.  But a friend shared this with Jen and me and I just couldn’t resist.

This is Josh Groban’s performance from the 2008 Emmy awards.
