Todd and I belong to a Fantasy Football League with our friends. The league has been active for 6 years, I think. As I stated in a previous post, last year's competition was tight so we had a party to antagonize each other face-to-face. This year we had another party. There were about 33 people here when it was at the largest attendance point. We got a group picture, but unfortunately I forgot to round everyone up when we were at the most people here. Todd remembered around 10:30 or 11. Several people had already left. I'm whining about that in case you can't tell. Also, we had several friends that were unable to make it due to work schedules, family commitments, their own illness, or a family member's illness. We are thankful for Deb who came after working (really running) for 12 hours at Kohl's and then started feeling ill in the evening. I don't know how retail employees maintain their energy level and their mental composure during the holiday season. God bless you all.
Since this party had originated as a Fantasy Football party, Steve Buit brought league statistics. He has an amazing way with number compilation. Rob Buit made a hat. Well, I called it a 'hat' and got chastised for it. It was a Pierhead... A Michigan Pierhead to be exact. I think next year we make wearing a costume a mandatory admission requirement for all league members. No wait, I can't dress as that sexy Marauder that we have as our team avatar. Here are our team's names: Marauders; Wing-It; Martha Say, Michigan Pierheads, Selur Nagihcim (Michigan Rules spelled backwards); BUSCHMANators; Lunatic007; Colts_Rule; Cowboys1; and last but not least is Kickbuiesbutt. Deep Post Pattern has been a team for several years. He did not participate this year, but he was invited to the party anyway since we love him and his wife, and they are also good friends. We did try to make him sit on the porch and watch the party through the windows. Since he's not active in the league, we weren't going to allow him to be active at the party, but it was chilly and we let him in.Kicking Buie's butt is really the objective of our league. Even though we all want to win every game, we also root for whichever team is playing Selur Nagihcim (Rob's older brother Steve). He is, by his own admission, the most competitive and arrogant member of our league. It is fun to see him lose and make jokes in his honor. It's all in good fun with lots of love, of course.
