It's insured as part of my personal property insurance - I've got a flat value of insurance that supposedly covers everything inside my home.

The one interesting thing that I've noticed is that gas prices have gone up a little bit since the election.  Hmmm, coincidence?

They've gone up - but the price of a barrel of oil hit a 5 year low.

I'm not going to say that oil execs were trying to help incumbents - but it certainly is one more circumstantial piece of evidence pointing to price-fixing.

Whatever works it out.  I didn't expect to be in a position to win, so if Jackson or Driver can help me clinch a playoff spot this week, I'll be extremely pleased.  

Driver - endzone.

1st quarter half.

Snow.

2 4 3 INT's, and a fumble, for Hasselbeck - and a TD for Ahman Green.





It's comical at this point.

I sure hope so... I was starting to build up a nice grip on 1st, and then all the sudden Jamie's team piles up points by the dozen...

I know Rob you got a really bad hand dealt to you with some extremely bad luck. 

I really didn't have that same rabid passion to beat you like I did in Week 1, but I had to do it anyhow at the risk of that cute little "head to head" scorecard of your's resurfacing.

 :P

Yeah, no doubt the Fantasy Sports rivalry wasn't as fun this time through.  Hopefully next year things will be more competative!

It's the Duomo overshadowing Florence - taken from the top of said Duomo.

You can see it popping up behind some other buildings in one of the other shots.

As for Rome, I absolutely love Italy - it's a sort of a second home.  I lived there for 2 months and I wish it had been 2 decades.

I hope to buy property there someday.


I have lots more pictures from my first trip there (the 2 month one) that I'll scan someday and share - back then I was shooting with real film and developing everything myself.

Dear God my lead is down to 4.5 points.

A Plaxico TD or a long FG or a short FG and a few catches, and I lose again, and the Giants are going to spend the rest of the game throwing, throwing, throwing...

Amazing.
