DRAFT!!!

The hour grows near. As I understand it, the draft is still scheduled for Saturday at 11 a.m. in my basement. I will provide some refreshments to get us started, and after we finish drafting, I figure we may want to cook out. As far as I’m concerned, the world is our oyster this Saturday. My doors are open for whatever we feel like doing. Bring some swimming gear if we decide to go poolside. Sod field football isn’t out of the question, and there are a couple of basketball hoops pretty close to my place. There will be a host of college football games to watch, which should be good preparation for next year’s draft.

I know not everyone will be able to stay in town, but for anyone who would like to make a whole evening out of the ordeal, you guys and your significant others are absolutely welcome to spend the night at my place. Furthermore, I know that that will be quite a hike for some of you traveling from western Kentucky, so if anyone wants to come up Friday evening, that’s fine with me too. Just give me a little notice, and Mandy and I will make sure we have all the proper accommodations. If you guys are like me, then your girlfriends/fiancés/wives have probably all given you quite a bit of hell about your excitement over a stupid fantasy football draft. They’ve probably even rolled their eyes at the idea of having to travel to my house and sit through that sort of hell. Well, as a courtesy, I created a baby, who is now eight weeks old. She’s pretty much adorable, and she should be able to distract a roomful of girls for about as long as a fantasy football draft takes. After that, you’re on your own.

P.S. I'm game for pretty much anything this weekend, and I won’t name names, but my daughter is not to be involved in any mud clod fights.
