updates

1. The draft weekend went well. Our main guy, Donte Whitner, went higher than expected at #8. He was thrilled and so were we. Hopefully, Adam Vinatieri doesn't talk to him any time soon.

2. I was wondering if Over the Hedge was the movie Mo worked on for the last seven years. I will definitely go see it now.

3. Dan called me twice this weekend, but I only called him back once, so I owe him a phone call. The second time he called me was on Sunday in the early evening. I was in the midst of trying to sign all of our guys who didn't get drafted. It was crazy. At once point, even though I was constantly on the phone or answering call waiting, I had 8 new voice messages because I just couldn't get to them. It was great fun, even if a bit stressful, but I still would have rather talked to Dan.

4. The Indians are infuriating, as usual.

5. I am not clamoring to get New Years. Like I've said before, I just thought it would be a good place to host since we really have two houses. But if someone else has a compelling interest in having it elsewhere and people would rather do that, it's fine with me. That being said, my mom mentioned to me again this weekend that she hopes New Years is in Cleveland so she can get all the baby toys down from the attic. She is in serious "I want to be a grandmother" mode. Sorry, mom. I am definitely NOT helping out in that area at the moment.

6. In keeping you all apprised (yawn) of my house progress, I managed to remove all of the wallpaper in my master bedroom while watching 57,000 hours of the draft this weekend. At least I found a way to be productive.
