Biggest news first -- Commish finally holds on and wins!! (I guess I'll hold off a week or two before adding that rule change...... :) ) Things are finally getting back to "normal" at home. I finished assembling the new furniture and moved all of the computer stuff back downstairs. I'm gonna miss being able to watch the TV in the living room while using the computer. Of course, I need only run a Cat-5 cable to the living room and I'm back in front of the tube again. :) :) The biggest obstacle now is putting everything back in the shelves. I am _not_ looking forward to this part. At least I know where the most impor- tant stuff is -- the football books. Another reminder: work is going to have me super-swamped for parts of Weeks 10 and 11 (Nov 2-8). The lineups for Week 10 will go out on time Nov 2, but just about everything after that will be on a very delayed basis. The best I'm hoping for is sporadic login time to take care of things. The worst- case scenario is that I won't be able to do anything on the 'net until the following Saturday (Nov 8). (I'm placing my bet on somewhere in between.)
