It Could Have Been Worse
While nothing seemed to go according to plan for me this weekend, all I can say is, it could have been worse.
First, I road with a couple of friends up to the VS Elite series in Towson, MD. I piloted my VU/X deck to a 3-2 record. I’ll try to write up a full report later, lets just say the matchups where I had to draw perfect to win I drew terrible.
Sunday Lisa and I went to see “Into the Wild”. An excellent movie, but somewhat depressing. Afterwards, we hit up Moe’s for lunch, picked up a new video game, and played some tennis. After two years, I think I’m finally starting to get the hang of tennis. While I don’t have the serve down just yet, I can actually place the ball where I want it with some speed and accuracy. I’m starting to get some consistency in putting spin on the ball. Tennis is much more of an art form than other sports.
I watched a bit of football, the redskins are really lucky to get a win. My fantasy teams weren’t so lucky, I lost in both leagues. I was pretty amazed to lose in my public league, with Wes Welker scoring 31 points for me. My opponent’s team is a who’s who of people who got lucky weeks - Willis McGahee? Jerricho Cotchery? 13 receptions for Ernest Graham??? Unbelievable.
There was also a UFC this weekend, none of my picks seemed to work out. It wasn’t the worst UFC in memory, but it certainly wasn’t the best.
Finally, this morning I was driving to work and a car in the HOV lanes hit a deer. I saw him out of the corner of my eye - it was one of those “what the heck was that” moments, then he comes spinning into the road right in front of me. I had a split second to glance to my left lane - thank goodness, no cars were there, then swerve to avoid him.
All I can think was, it could have been a lot worse.
