So the illness that set me back on Saturday subsided Sunday just enough for me to be able to go to church. I left early because a friend called me and needed help with something, but I made up for it last night by going to the Quarterly Business Conference (the conference will be explained in greater detail soon).

My fantasy football team won this weekend, 92-81. I now stand at 3-2 on the season, but my team should be a bit better. Peyton Manning is my QB and hasn’t done nearly as well as I would have hoped (I picked him with the seventh pick in this year’s fantasy draft). Ronnie Brown has been a bust at running back this year. I got a big contribution this week from Lee Evans (15 points), who was Buffalo’s only offensive hope against the Bears, which lifted me. Donald Driver was hurt and barely played — I only got two points from him. But I still won and I’m happy about that…best performance from a Chris Brewer-owned fantasy team in about 3 years.

Moving on to yesterday, after waking up late I called Kevin to see if he wanted to play disc golf. He said yes and proceeded to beat me by one shot even after he had a monumental collapse on the 17th hole. He finished at 2 over par and me at 3 over. We also saw a water moccasin on the bridge spanning the 6th hole. Not cool.

Then last night was the quarterly business conference. We recommended Cameron and Stephanie to be set forth as ministers in the COGOP and it passed unanimously…I even seconded the motion to set them forth and I’m dang proud of it. Then came some fireworks in the form of some people who hold membership in the church but never attend, faced with having their names removed from the membership rolls due to unfaithfulness (in physical attendance, financial support, etc.). Very complicated situation and it might require some in-person explanation, so in part I don’t know why I’m typing it here — all I will say is these people have tried to impede the progress of Lakeside Church and the conference didn’t allow it to happen.

And today I was popped for a “random” drug test. This is the 13th I have taken during my Air Force career…an absolutely ridiculous number if you think about it. You’d think after the first twelve tests I took and nothing showed up, that they wouldn’t need to do anything else. Wrong. I hate the AF policy on drug testing. Why not take out the money that is being used on stupid things and use it on things that really matter, like maybe hair follicle testing equipment. Much more reliable and safer than — ahem — our current method of testing.

That is all for now. Bow to your sensei.
