NFL HQ: Lagos



Okay, so yeah, I have some bad dreams; that's better than Malaria. And from what I've heard, there are much worse side-effects possible with this stuff than bad dreams!

We've purchased cool Nigerian wood-carvings, both legit and illegitimate dvd's (although I won't formally admit to knowing about the latter at the time of the transaction), and some really good food. But I don't think anything compares to the purchase I made this evening; NFL Field Pass on NFL.com. I bought this for 39.99, and yes, it is only radio broadcasts, but right now, I am listening to the Seahawks playing Cardinals on one computer, listening to the Chargers play the Titans on a second computer, and Chiefs playing the Broncos on a third. Add on to that, my fantasy football !Yahoo stattracker loaded up on the center computer to keep track of how my fantasy players are doing. I'm a few tv's short of being in NFL heaven right now, and all of this for just 39.99! I've listened to 6 games today...there are 15 more weeks left in the NFL, if I keep this pace up, I will have listened to 90 games by the end of the season. You do the math, that's like...well I'm not a math teacher so who cares, it's pretty cheap football! So I'm doing well!! Kara is enjoying my fanaticism; she's watching a ton of Harry Potter DVD's and getting work done.

On Saturday morning, a couple of the guys and I went on a quest to find Madden 07 for the XBox360 and were very unsuccessful. Nothing but PAL here. I have a copy of Madden 07 in my possession, but it's the PAL version, we don't need to go into that story because I'm still recovering from the severe disappointment. However, on our quest, I noticed the number of baby Goats, I think they call them kids? Anyways, I asked Jon Cain, also known as Obi John Cainobi to us newbies, what the deal was? I said, "These goats must be pretty smart because I haven't seen a single one get hit by any cars out here." He said, it's not that they're any smarter than dogs, it's just that all the dumb ones are dead. I'm still laughing about that one, but seriously, there are sooooo many goats running the streets here!

Alright, well I need to get back to operating NFL HQ: Lagos, Nigeria.

Hey Buddy,
Looks like my video editing suite. Talk about multi-tasking. After reading the blog about the Malaria med's, are you sure those goats are real? Love, Dad.
