updates n stuff

Again its been awhile since i bothered to post, sorry but its just that time of year. Yardwork after i get home from regular work so that i dont have to do it on the weekends (usually). Weekends im fishing ,camping , canoeing, spending time with my wife and daughter away from the house.



I recently had to have one of my dogs put to sleep because she had cancer and a few weeks after that we added two new pups to the family. one is a beagle and the other is a maltese. Getting them trained the way we want takes up a slice of time as well. If you want to see pics of them you will have to get the next wordsteal league newsletter.

Along with all of that i try to keep up with a few tv shows ... Rescue Me , CSI , The Ultimate Fighter and Monk. RescueMe has been kinda boring up until the last episode which i enjoyed.

Books..... My wife recently watched the vampire movie Twilight and then got the 4 books in the set. I have read the first three and while the general storyline ideas are ok the books are cheesy and pretty much suck lol. I have a copy of The Green Mile i am about to start on, i hope its good. I also read The DragonRiders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey and it wasnt bad at all.

Regular readers know i love the sport of mixed martial arts and follow it closely. In Illinois and the midwest we have a number of fighters and lots of amateur shows. I am 42 years old now and i want to climb in a cage on an amateur show and fight at least once before i hit 45. I have started a slow training process of an hour a day walking and jogging in the morning and an hour of either weightlifting , swimming or light punching bag training in the evenings. I have been doing this for about 6 weeks and im starting to feel really good. I hope to step it up soon at a school near here that focuses on jujitsu and grappling. We also have a TaeKwonDo instructor in town that will work out with me and he has a lot to teach. My wife thinks im fucking crazy but she has always had that opinion. For those interested , if i do fight it will be in the 205 lb lightheavyweight class.

On to the league, we have the 2 year anniversary coming up in june with right now close to 65,000 matches played. Holy Shit!!! i never thought it would go so well. Also i want to welcome all the hoyle players from FSW and Doublecross that have joined. I hope you enjoy the newer dictionary and the league. I know you miss the hoyle graphics but maybe you will learn to love steal like we do.

Thats all for the moment , i will try n post again real soon, tc and cya at the tables
