Already rethinking my picks. The NFC East is hands down the best division in the NFL. The question now is which three teams make the playoffs, which one wins the division and which two play in the divisional round and which two in the championship game. Instantly revised standings:
Giants 12-4
Redskins 12-4
Cowgirls 10-6
Eagles 10-6
Eagles lose out on the tie-break, as do the Skins. Skins and Giants match up in NY for the Championship.

Lucy, Teddy and the Start of Fire Season
I'm still not getting far enough writing my Paris Journal. When I do, I will bump the first one up and get the whole trip posted. But, in the mean time, it is fire time. Freezing in Blacksburg, so I build a woodstove fire. Luckily, I have big dogs to help me get warm: Teddy and Lucy. Oh, and singlemalt whisky. A young Teddy. He's about 90lbs now.

I now have a twitter
<--- had no clue this weirdness was out there. I encourage only reading funny things on it.
I recommend finding funny people and following only them on it. That will encourage more to be funny on there, thus helping my attention span. In fact, I am going to go dump non-funny people from my list immediately.

Old friends, new funnies
Here comes another birthday for me, and a chance to think about old friends. Last year I got to see highschool and college friends John, Mike, John and Dave in no particular order. Two are more Asian than me and two are more bald. I think that means I'm the median.
Mike above, third from left, sent me this today:
"BTW - I met Chris Lu (Obama's chief of staff) during the second debate. We're going to have an Asian pretty high in the administration. So get ready to build the railroad - Whitey :)"
I love it!
Of course, around here we get the "you'll be picking cotton soon, whitey!" Ah, great hilarity. 12 more days to President Obama.

Some NFL Talk
Some fun during lunch today, broken into different posts:
The NFC East- the division that matters:
TEAM W L T PF PA
NY Giants 5 1 0 170 101
Washington 5 2 0 140 128
Dallas 4 3 0 189 175
Philadelphia 3 3 0 167 123
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=was
Where they will end up
TEAM W L T
NY Giants 13 3 0
Washington 11 5 0
Philadelphia 9 7 0
Dallas 7 9 0
And only two NFC East teams make the playoffs this year. The Skins go to NY to play the Giants there for the Championship.
Now, that record has my skins losing again to the Giants at home later. If the skins win, and it will be close, then they are tied. Then they are also tied in division wins. It then goes to conference opponents and the Giants get the bye.
