A short week?

I heard on the radio this week that if you go on a diet, your ability to remember things increases due to your body less focused on digesting food and more focused on brain activity. Now, I find this a little hard to believe because if I'm right, your body now has to search through fat storage to get the energy it needs instead of the readily available sugars that are digested at each meal. Why do I bring this up? Because I can't for the life of me remember what I did this week. Here are some of the things I do remember...

• This was the first full week without basketball, so I finally had time to sit and relax a little for what seems like the first time in awhile. (I think I said that not too long ago, but it still seems true.) What I mean is...my blanket added on about a foot this week (laugh all you want...but when the world runs out of fuel to heat homes...I'll have a desired profession--crocheting)...and I started to read a book I've been wanting to read for some time...Moneyball by Michael Lewis. Its a book written by a guy who follows a season with Billy Beane, the GM of the Oakland A's. He writes how some stats (batting average, homeruns, and ERA) are overrated and how others (OPS, walks, WHIP) are drastically underrated. He also talks about how you don't need multi-million dollar All-Star players on your team to win, and how you can develop a consistent winning team simply by drafting smart players every June. (You can see how this would be my type of book.)
• We're planning on a Super Bowl party tomorrow...which should be a lot of fun. I've always been somewhat of a Steelers fan...especially in the days of Greg Lloyd and Levon Kirkland. I can honestly tell you that at one point, I knew all the starters (offense and defense) of the teams of the late 1990's...and I have no idea why or what drew me to them. On the other hand, I've always been fascinated by the Kurt Warner story and love cheering for the underdog in games like this. Then there's always Larry Fitzgerald who is from Minneapolis...can't ignore the MN connection there.

Well, I hate to cut it short, but that's all the news I can come up with for this post. If anything interesting enough happens in the next couple days, I'll be sure to post again, but until then...

So long everybody...
