First off, I wanna thank Balls for covering Saturday night

so I could enjoy the day with WineWife.

Now, on to the more important point: this is the last Sunday for me until the end of the season.

We are entering the most glorious part of the year at [DFO] for me – when actual football takes the place of my having to invent #content to fill up six days per week. That’s now the responsibility of the NFL, as there will be plenty to rag on during the course of the next seventeen weeks, plus playoffs. I enjoy doing it, and the #contentoverlords allow me to expand my writing to cover areas of interest to me & hopefully you.

But it occasionally becomes a chore, which is why I take vacations or ask for time off. I don’t want to burn out at my volunteer assignments, since it means I’m likely burning out at my paid assignments. And that’s why the start of the regular season means so much, because it cuts my load down to three days/week – coinciding with the start of the school year. Now I’m fresh for everyone!

Hopefully, I can get back to producing some of the longer pieces & serials that [DFO] is known for. In any event, it’s the middle of the holiday weekend, so I hope you are enjoying the grilled meats, the chilled beers, and juuuuuuust enough time with family. Remember: next week we football!

My minor league beer selling ended on Friday. I made $500 cash in the last three days, and with my other three compatriots polished off a half-keg of Whistler Lager under the stands after the last out. It was glorious. Luckily, it’s only 285 more sleeps until Opening Day 2020!
