Busy Times Ahead

The frequency of my blogging may be limited over the next month.  It is a busy month for the campaign as I have the “Orgies for Abstinence” event coming up on Election night (this coming Tuesday).  I will be attending the Meeting of Independent Presidential Candidates from the 13th through the 21st in the Bahamas.

It will be a busy month in my personal and professional lives.  The meeting of Independent Presidential Candidates and Thanksgiving has caused all of my presentations to be moved up to the week of November 9.  I will be working many 16-hour days the next two weeks (except this Tuesday).  I will also have Patricia next weekend.

This is a hectic time and I might not be able to post every day.  I am letting you know now so you don’t think I returned to the ashram or anything silly like that.  Things will return to normal on Thanksgiving week.

For those who look forward to my weekly football picks, I will still do them.  The picks for Weeks 10 and 11 will both be posted on November 12.  The picks for Thanksgiving week will be posted the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

Maybe I should run for Washington Redskins’ Head Coach instead of President.  I hope the old guy the Redskins hired to call plays will do a better job than Jim Zorn did.  Lost in the miserable year is how well the defense has been playing.  If Dan Snyder is reading this and he is looking for a head coach, I proudly offer myself and my ideas.

Did I ever stink up the house!  This is my worst picking this year.  I couldn’t get a “best pick” correct last week.  I am extremely disappointed in my Redskins.  They were a three-and-a-half point underdog.  I picked Carolina because they were due to break out.  The Redskins did the double whammy by covering the point spread but not winning outright.  Jim Zorn has to go!

I regressed just as I thought I was getting the hang of this.  This looks easy until you actually try it.  It’s just like performing open heart surgery.  I was close to going a perfect 3-0 in best bets (stupid Bengals), but it wasn’t meant to be.

Best Bets: 2-1  Season 5-4 (.556)

I am getting pretty good at this.  However, it is a long season and a lot of football left to be played.  This could be bad news for Tampa bay Buckaneers fans because it seems possible they might not win a game this year.

NOTE TO THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS:  I was born and raised in Washington DC.  Although I am living in New Jersey, I am still a die-hard Redskins fan.  I have never been as ashamed to be a Redskins fan as I was on Sunday after the Detroit Lions won their first game since 2007.  We play Tampa Bay this Sunday.  Tampa Bay is as bad this year as Detroit was last year.  DON’T MAKE ME ASHAMED AGAIN!!!  GO REDSKINS!!!
