Depressing... turned to ANGER!
This is Extremely Depressing News to me.... Along with this... I know it does not mean that something won't be worked out to keep them here, but it will be much harder now. It just makes things that much more frustrating after watching them play a horrible game on Versus on Tuesday night.
**Update: The more this gets talked about, the more I turn from depressed to angry!!!!
The one glimmer of hope is that Frank D'Angelo has said he would like to buy the team and build an arena. But this could just be enough to get our hopes up before it falls through and the team moves....
Damn it, this pisses me off!!!!
***Update 2: Ahhhhhh!! It keeps getting worse, this doesn't look good to me.
****Update 3: When I first read this, I couldn't decide if it was a real letter or not!

A Long Weekend with some Mtn. Biking
I had a fabulous weekend of getting outside and hitting the trails. The weather was great, nice and clear, although a bit cool, but it warmed up a little more each day.
I had Friday off this weekend and I met a group from MORE up near Frederick MD at Greenbrier St. Park. When I got there it was about 30 degrees and there was a little bit of a breeze. There were 4 of us and were we all on time and didn't spend much time waiting around getting cold. We got ready and hit the trail to get that blood pumping. I had only ridden there briefly before, so it was nice to get a better sense of the place. We did two laps, but I am not sure how long they were. I think we rode for about 2 hours, which was just about right.
Then on Saturday I met a few people from the DC Tri Club and we had a nice ride at Fountainhead Park in VA. The weather was great and we had a good time on the ride. 2 out of the 4 of us had never been there before, so it was nice to be able to show them a new area to ride and give them a challenge to work on!
On Sunday I slept in a little bit, but after I woke up and saw how gorgeous the weather was, I decided that I had to go biking, so I headed out by myself to Wakefield Park in VA to do the race course loop a few times. I wanted to gauge my fitness, so I did a typical Wed. night race of 3 loops. I am lagging a little bit from where I was over the summer, but if I keep working at it, hopefully I'll be ready to go by then!
Throw in a few party's and the All-Holiday Blog Celebration and there you have my weekend!!

Fantasy Football
This is an interesting article about what awkward moments it can bring when being the GM of a fantasy football team. Fortunately I don't have to worry about playing again someone on my team, I just have to worry about when the Steelers play one of my fantasy players. As the article says, there are only a few players who actually admit to having teams, but I wonder how many of them secretly have teams. I know that there are a number of athletes in other sports that have football teams. It is such an interesting phenomenon.
I'm just glad that for right now, I am in first place in Fantasy Blogball!!

Thanksgiving in Cashiers - Pictoral
I know the Thanksgiving long weekend was about a week ago, but I am just getting around to writing about it now. I don't feel like writing a big post about it, but I'll give you a quick re-cap and then a bunch of pictures!
The trip down was pretty good. Mom and I alternated driving and we made it late on Tuesday night without any problems. The weather was absolutely gorgeous all 5 days we were there. We went hiking each day except Sunday when we had to leave. We climbed 4 different mountains and it was a great time. The dogs ran away once and gave us a bit of a scare, but they came back.
Overall it was a fabulous time with good food, good drink, and good company!!! Enjoy the pictures!
