Happy Happy Birthday October Celebrants!

NFL Week 4 Picks

Again here are my picks for the 4th week of the NFL.

Detroit taking 11.5
Cincinnati giving 5.5 --> I can't see how Cleveland will score given how bad their offense is
Indianapolis giving 7.5 --> too many injuries for Seattle
NY Giants giving 9.5
New England giving 2.5
Washington giving 7.5 --> hopefully my faith in Washington will be rewarded
Jacksonville taking 2.5
Oakland taking 9.5 --> Houston is better but the point spread was too big
New Orleans giving 6.5
Buffalo giving 2.5
San Francisco giving 9.5
Denver taking 3.5
San Diego taking 6.5
Green Bay taking 3.5

That's it for me this week.

Last week's record: 10 - 6
Season's record: 32 - 16

NFL week 3 picks...

Here we go again. Another week and another chance to improve.

Last week was a rather interesting week given a number of upsets. Maybe next time I'll include some comments with some of my choices, but since I'm a bit under the weather and sleep, I'll just post my picks and hope for the best. Here they are.

Washington giving 6.5
Green Bay giving 6.5
San Francisco taking 6.5
Atlanta taking 4.5
Tennessee taking 3.5
Philadelphia giving 5.5
NY Giants giving 7.5
Baltimore giving 13.5
Houston giving 3.5
New Orleans giving 5.5
Chicago giving 2.5
Miami taking 6.5
Cincinnati taking 4.5
Oakland taking 1.5
Indianapolis taking 2.5
Dallas giving 9.5

Last week, was a rather respectable performance on my part. On 2 games were I really debated on my choice, I ended up making the wrong one. Hopefully my choices will work out this week.

Last week: 10 - 6
Season: 22 - 10

NFL Picks for week 2

I've recently joined an NFL pool a friend of mine was in, and since they incorporate using the whole spread system in determining their picks. Since that's how they made their choices, I'll try to be consistent and do the same with how I make mine as well.

Here are my picks for NFL week 2. (bold means home team)

Atlanta - giving 6.5
Minnesota - giving 9.5
Green Bay - giving 8.5
Houston - taking 7.5
Oakland - taking 3.5
New England - giving 4.5
New Orleans - taking 3.5
Washington - giving 9.5
Arizona - taking 3.5
Seattle - taking 1.5
Pittsburgh - giving 3.5
Baltimore - taking 3.5
Denver - giving 3.5
NY Giants - taking 2.5 (I can't believe the Giants are the underdogs?!?!)
Indianapolis - giving 3.5

So that's it, I'll admit, I'm not sure if my choice for the San Diego-Baltimore game is the same one that I submitted. When I am able to confirm, I'll post what the correct team.

Last week's record: 12 - 4
Season record: 12 - 4

Not that bad of a start even though it didn't take into consideration the spread.

SNL Immigrant Tale

I haven't been watching SNL for the past few years, but Franny was surfing online and found this video.

Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own SNL. Hehehe!

Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street!

Last Saturday we drove down to Sesame Place near Philly.

It was a wonderful time even though it rained through some parts of the day. Elise had a wonderful time playing in the kiddie wading pool area with Franny.

I've attached a picture taken with Ernie. You can check out more pictures from my photos page. It's also not that far of a drive, roughly 1.5 hours.

2 years and counting...

working at the City's Office of Management & Budget!

It's a great place and I still enjoy the variety of stuff that we have to do.

It would be nice to spend many more years here.
