It’s All Falling to Pieces!

Blah, the oven broke down at the cottage (the stovetop thankfully still works), and there is a leak in the bathroom sink! It doesn’t look like it will get fixed any time soon, and I’m amazed at how tough life is without an oven. While I’m out of town for the holidays, Sydney’s going to have a petsitter. I really hope everything goes well with that, since I don’t want to come back to a cottage full of dead plants/fish/cat. I would also be happy if the petsitter didn’t loot the house. I haven’t met the sitter, but Bunky said she was nice and the only thing that Bunky detected that wasn’t good was that the petsitter smoked. Sydney seems to be in good spirits now, but over the weekend he got a slight tear in his scrotum where the incision was =’(. It seems to have healed now.

This week my fantasy NBA team sits atop the league with a 1.5 game lead. To heighten the suspense, I’m taking on Kungfucius’s team in a Sea Slugs! showdown to the DEATH. Actually it probably won’t be that exciting, since neither of us are likely to be in town for much of the week, and I don’t really plan on shuffling my lineup that much. Speaking of fantasy NBA, some poor fellow in the league completed a trade for Ron Artest right on the day that the league announced it was suspending Ron for the year due to his violent venture into the stands. That is some bad luck! Personally I think that the players were wrong for running into the stands, but at least that was understandable. But those Detroit fans… WTF! Buying a ticket does not give you a right to throw things. It’s bad enough some of the verbal garbage they spew, but throwing punches and beer cups is just too much. Fortunately, I don’t have any of the suspended players on my team, so by default I win. BTW, how much you want to bet Ron is secretly glad about this suspension so he can work on his *snicker* music career.
