Freaks & Geeks

The 11th Annual fantasy football draft was yesterday in scenic Lake Montezuma, AZ - at the local golf course. Some of the dudes in our league hit the sticks before the draft, and I have to say that it's probably one of the only golf courses in AZ where you see more mullets than polo-shirt wearin' cropped cut fat guys. I skipped the golf, as I usually do and rolled in for the draft at 1:30. It's always a good time - catching up with guys I only see once a year. This whole debacle started back in 1996 and I like it because its pretty much stayed the same since. We drink beer, talk smack, and overall, take it about as serious as we should. Meaning its fun to talk about on Sundays and every now and then we get into a good trashtalk session online about it.

I woke up this mornin' around 5:45 and was on the singlespeed by 6:05. Just so you know, the sun rises now about 6:10am. We really are losing light - and it was on the edge of cold - around 51 degrees. I climbed for 5 miles up Mount Elden's 2000' gain in my 32 x 18. Plenty of work for a Monday morning. Flip it - and down "endo trail" back home. No endo's today - thankfully.

Now - off to the pool with Squirty. September is here, and I can feel the days getting shorter and the temps falling. It'll be 68 for a high on Thursday with lows in the 40's. Damn.....summer went fast.

  1. Summer went fast? Maybe for your Flagstaff alpine folk! We here down in the Verde Valley are praising Allah that the blasted 100 degress temps are now finally fading into a more pleasant and tolerable 90s. Finally the Verde Valley folk will be on top of the game once again! Yeah, whoo! Eat snow, 7,000 footers!

  3. Actually they are changing the name of Cottonwood/Clarkdale ("Cottondale") to "Satan's Lair" as we speak. You'll notice the new sign next time you drive into the Verde Valley....
    "Greetings from Satan's Lair!"
