Help Victoria Build Toilets!
So, my ultra compassionate niece Victoria has decided to show us all up and go build toilets in the Dom Rep. Hey, you're not better than me. I saved a stray dog once. And then found out it belonged to people who lived 1/8th of a mile down the road. So I guess in reality I stole the dog. But it's the thought, right?? Anyway, please take the time to read her letter and give some thought to supporting her in this endeavor!
Dear Family & Friends (that's you guys, so pay attention!),
Recently I made a decision to go on a short-term mission’s trip with Goshen Baptist Church from July 16-24. I am so excited about this opportunity that God is giving me to share His love in the Dominican Republic! Goshen Baptist Church has partnered with Food for the Hungry (www.fh.org) and has been going to a town called Sabana Cruz for 5 years, and this year I am so grateful to be joining a team of 22 people to continue the work that has already been started. As shown below we will be landing in Santa Domingo, and traveling to a town called Sabana Cruz which is on the border of Haiti. (We will actually be bathing in the river that separates Sabana Cruz from Haiti) Relationships with the local people in Sabana Cruz have already been established and are continuing to grow year by year. While in Sabana Cruz our team will be building severely needed latrines (these bring the childhood death way down), pouring cement floors in place of mud floors in homes, deliver much needed supplies (aspirin, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, washcloths, etc…), and most importantly, tell of Christ’s love and our love for them. Circled below is where we will be serving, along with children in a local home of Sabana Cruz.
We will also be going on home visits, and will be able to be involved with the local community through various sporting events including soccer and the infamous end of week baseball game. We will be having a vacation bible school throughout the week and we will all have the opportunity to create even more long lasting relationships with the amazing people of Sabana Cruz! Many adults there can not read or write, and most live on much less than $1000 a year. Here’s where I need your help….
My team and I will need lots of prayer for this trip! God has incredible plans for Sabana Cruz, and all we need to do is rely on Him. We will need prayer every step of the way. In addition, I will need financial support. This trip will cost approximately $1800 per person, which covers all construction supplies for the latrines and cement floors, transportation, living arrangements, and food. Right now I am trusting that God will provide all that we need to make this trip possible. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and learning about Sabana Cruz. If you would like to learn more about the Sabana Cruz or the trip itself don’t hesitate to call or email me: 484-947-8435 or vrupple@gmail.com. If you would like to prayerfully or financially support me, please fill out the bottom slip and either:

Week 7 Preview From The Commish
2010 LFC Week SEVEN PREVIEW
==============================================
What the heck happened? Just because I take a week off and the league turns upside down - all the teams headed for the post-season lose to the bottom dwellers ... and now those basement rats are runnin' the show!
Congrats to teamjacob, DoggPound, & littlerupp for giving this league a much needed boost of realism and takin the top teams down a few pegs ....
As per usual ... view the league's top scorers of the week - and of the season at:
http://lewisfamily.league.fantasy.nfl.com/league/56914/players/leaders
Now - since I've been slow on the updates ... and week seven is just days away, instead of a review, I give you ... the Week Seven PREVIEW!
================
LEWIS FAMILY CHALLENGE GAME OF THE WEEK:
5-1 FiveAlive @ 4-2 DoggPound
* Back when the season was only a couple weeks old, this matchup appeared to be a yawner - flash forward four weeks, DoggPound found a way to put up 150pts a week and the StayAlive crew has knocked off several playoff contenders - and both of these teams are riding a four game winning streak ... lo and behold, do we have our first championship preview? For week7, it appears the Pounders have the edge, as their starters have some juicy matchups this weekend that should bring in points by the dozen - meanwhile the Johnson Five will need some luck to reach 100pts. But don't count them out, as the Pound have three starters that haven't practiced yet this week, nursing injuries that could hinder their production this weekend and make this game come down to a Monday nite affair - which by the way, the Johnsonistas will be enjoying their Cowboy Duumvirate of Romo & Jones.
----------
Next Best Game of the Week:
3-3 Smytherines @ 2-4 teamjacob
* There's a caveat to this being a high-rated game - that being, as long as the management team over at teamjacob burns the midnight oil and gets their starting lineup into shape for this weekend's game, we just might see a decent game ... as they have a total of five players sitting out on a bye this weekend. Sound drafting decisions there. Else, the Smytherines could be looking at a possible +75 point differential in the outcome. Brutal. It would be a shame, as teamjacob has been scary recently, putting up numbers big enough to scare the teams waiting to play them in future weeks. You can bet the folks running the Smytherines are exhaling a big sigh of relief when they saw how many jacobians are taking the week off - not often you can notch a win before the game is even played.
----------
4-2 Haulers @ 4-2 AllStars
*A Tale of Two Teams - One going up, the other going down. Midway through the 2010 LFC Player draft the Haulers were the talk of the draft war rooms - not for anything positive - but for their implausible decision to go several rounds before drafting any RBs. You know, runningbacks - the guys that get to touch the ball more times than the ballboys? The guys that get to carry the ball anytime the team wants to score points? Yea, those guys. Instead, the Haulers decided to go the pauper route. Choosing instead to sit outside the stadium gate in their worst sackclothes and lament the sufferings of a modern day fantasy football lineup, crying out to their higher power, "Why O HigherPower, hast Thouest foresakenth uste?" Oh - and they stink, too. Meanwhile, the Allstars are quietly moving up the standings and they have a shot to win three straight in the coming weeks.
----------
2-4 SauteedMules @ 2-4 BrooklynTrees
* If either of these two teams wanna shot to make a playoff run, this is the week to turn things around. The Toothpicks have an easier schedule than the ButteredMules from here on out - and could make a decent showing for an expansion club. Both teams are at full strength and this matchup could wind up being the most closely fought game of the weekend. Either the game will end with the Asses relieving themselves on the windward side of the Shrubs ... or we'll all be asking ourselves, "If a tree falls on a Mule in an empty stadium, will the home team surrender %45 of the local ad revenue?"
----------
2-4 roopdogs @ 4-2 SpecialEd
* As I was bouncing my boy on my lap last night, telling him stories of the early days of the 2010 LFC season, back when SpecialEd was the talk of the league: "You could barely get through a sentence without a mention of how great SpecialEd's lineup was," I waxed eloquently, "GMs were jealous of his highlighter prowess and his ability to draft all the right RBs." And this too shall pass ... a great goateed jogger once said, as he tumbled into the grass while the Harley flipped across the pavement with verse cards flying like chocolate rain. This league is all about the Pound and the high-steppin' moves of the Johnson Five. SpecialEd is so September. This Week Seven Edition of Edward's Most Exceptional is hemorrhaging talent, victims of the Bye Plague that is rampant nowadays. The floundering roopdogs couldn't ask for a better opportunity to gain control of the highly coveted Trailer Bowl trophy.
----------
2-4 Dolphins @ 3-3 GoldenKnights
* Any other season, this matchup would be the focus of the week. Journalists from all corners of the globe would be covering the pregame personnel moves - as the two GMs vie for just the right starting unit to gain the most points. But this is the 2010 version of the LFC - the version that allows teenyboppers to humiliate self-professed experts of football in front of seemingly two or three people. Sure either one of these two teams could right the ship and go on a winning streak and be a playoff threat - but that's a few weeks from now. But right now, week seven - this is Dolphins/GoldenKnights. And TNT will be showing the 2004 version of Walking Tall, starring The Rock on Sunday afternoon - and I just gotta find out what he's cooking up for security guards at the new casino in his hometown. We're talking the People's Elbow, people!
----------
2-4 NoPunts @ 3-3 littlerupp
* Complainers & whiners get no love from the editors of this preview - so a brotha needs a week or two to get his head straight - to find himself - to see if there's any chance to keep a sense of himself in the middle of all these dirty diapers - can I still host my weekly dice game on the balcony on the nights when I'm on baby duty - are there any onomatopoeias that are palindromes? You know, the real questions of life .... but yea, I'll stop all that and toss ya'll a preview ... I got your preview ... right here ... a 2-4 team is playing a 3-3 team. One will win, one will lose. One won't be watching.

Week 4 Review From The Commish
2010 LFC Week FOUR REVIEW
==============================================
Here's your top scorers of the week! Only starting players get credit for being an LFC Top Scorer ... you can view all the league's top scorers of the week - and of the season at:
http://lewisfamily.league.fantasy.nfl.com/league/56914/players/leaders
littlerupp QB DET Shaun Hill: 26.54pts
SpecialEd RB HOU Arian Foster: 39.70pts
Dolphins WR CIN Terrell Owens: 39.20pts
DaDoggPound TE SD Antonio Gates 30.40pts
NoPuntIntended K SD Nate Kaeding: 12.00pts
roopdogs SD Chargers Defense 31.00pts
Look out folks - here is comes ... the LFC 2010 Week 4 REVIEW!
================
LEWIS FAMILY CHALLENGE GAME OF THE WEEK:
2-2 Smytherines 108.64
1-3 Dolphins 109.22
* Well look who finally righted the ship and found the way to beuluh-land. Both teams were dealing with byes from contributing starters as well as low output from the starters who played. The Dolphins won by a little more than a half a point, thanks to the monster outing by CIN WR Terrell Owens (38.2pts in Cleveland). Both teams left points on the bench, but just about every scenario would give the beached Mosleys their first win of the 2010 season. Congrats to the Dolphins for not just their first win, but versus one of the league's toughest teams!
----------
3-1 SpecialEd 91.22
1-3 team jacob 109.44
* You just knew there was something in the air when team jacob took a huge early lead over Special Ed in the 1pm games on Sunday - this was UpsetWeekend in LFC - all the major teams succumbed to teams itching to get above .500. While all the other upsets are admirable, team jacob pulled off the win of the season - taking down the league's #1 team despite not even starting three RBs. Special Ed got a great game from HOU HB A. Foster (39.70pts) but his ace-in-the-hole, CHI RB Matt Forte could only offer 3.30pts for the day. It simply wasn't enough to keep their undefeated record alive - as jacob enjoyed outings from IND RB Joseph Addai (20.20pts), DET WR C. JOhnson (20.80pts), and NYJ HB L. Tomlinson (31.50pts). Hopefully this win will turn things around for team jacob as they join the chase for a playoff spot - but if that doesn't happen - they'll always have Sunday October 3rd, 2010 - the day they showed Special Ed who the real team is.
----------
2-2 Intended 100.78
2-2 roopdogs 109.58
* Special teams, special teams - the LFC is known far and wide for allowing special teams to play a significant role in scoring. The roopdogs took full advantage of those rules, as they came from behind midway through Monday night's football game in Miami, as New England's WR Brandon Tate returned a kickoff 103yds for a touchdown - giving the roopies the lead and the win - bringing their W/L record to a even .500 for the season.
----------
2-2 in brooklyn 97.90
2-2 littlerupp 120.24
* If team jacob could do it and the Mosley Dolphins found a way - surely littlerupp could produce the same result? Ah, right - the Vegas oddsmakers were piled heavy on the growth spurts, as littlerupp couldn't even find the time to assemble a starting unit with players that were, uhm, actually playing football this weekend. The littleupp started two guys who were on vacation - and started one guy who watched the game from the bench. You could say the bars in Brooklyn were knockin' em back eager to watch the scoreboard light up in their favor - but alas, that would have happened any other Sunday - but not on Upset Sunday. That's right - the guys who did contributed points to the littlerupp cause put up Davidian-vs-Phillistine like numbers. It didn't matter that the rupp deck was half stacked and they had the New England Patriots Defense on MOnday Night Football, who contributed two TDs, four INTs, one TD return, and 2 sacks.
----------
3-1 allstars 68.30
1-3 Sauteed Mules 55.92
* A rough outing for both of these playoff contenders as neither team came close to reaching the century mark. This was a brutal game to follow as the points were trickling in at a snail's pace. The AllStars won on the arm of NO QB Drew Brees and the back of SD HB Mike Tolbert. Bye weeks can kill even the best teams - and Upset Sunday was all about who managed their byes. The Mules could have won this game - if they hadn't of left 40pts on the bench. Live and learn.
----------
3-1 Haulers 64.16
3-1 Five Alive 108.14
* This game was over by twenty minutes after 1pm on Sunday - as the Haulers lost the services of their starting QB, PHI Michael Vick. And things didn't get any better when their #1 WR, HOU Andre JOhnson, called out sick at 4:15pm. The Five Alive didn't ease up on the walking wounded - they shifted into overdrive and tapped the nOS button, boom goes the dynamite, folks.
----------
2-2 Pound 111.16
1-3 Knights 74.54
* Civil War IV: Pounders vs Knights ... this is a battle that has been waging since long before LFC was founded. The entire season rests upon the outcome of this game. And it was a hallmark game - that is, until SD TE Antonio Gates hauled in his 500th career catch on his way to a 30.40pt effort - enough to distance the Pound from the Golden Knights. Two weeks ago the Pounders were sifting sand at the bottom of the standings - now they're a game behind the front runners. Only in the LFC.

Look out folks - here is comes ... the LFC 2010 Week 3 REVIEW!
================
LEWIS FAMILY CHALLENGE GAME OF THE WEEK:
2-0 No Punt Intended @ 1-1 a team grows in brooklyn
DevaCurl Bowl I gave the fans their money's worth - as the Intenders mounted a marvelous comeback during the Monday Night Football game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers, a game which by the way, featured prominently in a number of LFC's outcomes this weekend. The Intenders had the Pack D and CHI TE Olsen to pull out a victory for them, while the team huggers had to rely on CHI K Gould to leg out the win. While the outcome was glorious for the brookworms, the game should have never been that close, as Ochocinco and Berrian gave sub-par efforts for the No Punts Left Behind, while their backups Evans/Jones could have squeaked out a win for them. Although the local press will have their digicams pressed up against DET's Best - his 3.9pt orchestration seemed somewhat lacking after last week's Herculean posting against the TinKnights. All in all, it was still a great game to watch down to the final gun late Monday evening. This should be a promising matchup to follow in the coming seasons - and who knows, perhaps these two will face each other again later this fall?
2-1 Intended 104.00

After two weeks of non-stop coverage of the personnel on Special Ed's all-star roster and how many seats will they require for the head table at the LFC Championship banquet - they had to get back to the real work of churning out victories - and this week, they had to go up against the real allstars, of the middletown variety. The Middlers have taken LFC by storm, dominating littlerupp and DaDogg in the season's first two weeks - and now they got to face the league's best team. And until halftime of MNF, it appeared the upstarts were going to shock the world - the allstars took an early lead in the 1pm games and began to distance themselves from Special Ed, but once again, PHI WR DeSean Jackson brought the Specials back into contention with a 61yd TD haul just 10min into his game in Jacksonville. When CHI WR Knox caught a 31yd pass with a little over a minute to go in the first half, Special Ed took the lead and it was lights out for the allstars' moment in the limelight. Don't fret little towners of middle, you've got the goods for a post-season seed.
1-1 allstars 109.80

1-1 alEd 119.74
(up next -> 0-3 team jacob)
----------
1-1 Sauteed Mules @ 2-0 Emmaus Smytherines
If Special Ed wasn't hoggin' all the press coverage, these two teams would be the talk of the league - as they are both clearly built for a deep fall run into the schedule. This game could have easily been a matchup between two undefeateds, had the Mules' Naanee pulled in just one more TD in week one - but those are days past. And the LFC is all about how many points can you score today. This matchup was closely contested during the early games, but by Sunday night, Emmaus had this one locked. SD QB Rivers threw for nearly half-thousand yards in upstate Washington - if he continues to produce like that, move over Special Ed.
2-1 Mules 84.84
(up next -> 1-2 allstars)
2-1 Smytherines 114.10 pts
(up next -> 0-3 Dolphins)
----------
1-1 roopdogs @ 1-1 Keeping Five Alive
Ugh, you gotta feel for the roopdogs - if you told them at 12:59PM ET on Sunday that they'd have the league's third highest score for the weekend, it'd be drinks for everyone. Alas, the FiveAlive scored the second highest for the weekend. These two teams were over the century mark before the 1PM games had ended - you just knew this one was gonna be close. When the 4pm games ended, the Fiver's score was set - and the roopdogs just needed a huge game from CHI QB Cutler on MNF to bring home the win. But his 14.54pt effort couldn't get the job done and Mother Johnson got her second win of the season.
1-2 roopdogs 127.70
(up next -> 2-1 Intended)
2-1 Five Alive 143.06
(up next -> 3-0 Haulers)
----------
2-0 Hamilton Haulers @ 0-2 Mosley Dolphins
Absolutely no one, and we do mean no one, ever expected the Mosley Dolphins to start out the season 0-2, let alone 0-3. Especially when they got to play a RB-less team like the Haulers in week three - surely this would be the week the 'Phins would get up off the beach and head for the deep waters where the pros swim. Up until midway through the 4PM games, the Dolphins were looking at a possible champagne post-game celebration - then PHI QB Michael Vick began to settle down and play like a prototypical NFL QB, throwing for nearly 300yds and 3TDs - the scoring in this matchup swung dramatically toward the Haulers. And the Haulers even mistakenly benched a 23.90pt player in ARI RB Stephens-Howling. Destiny was cast - the Dolphins were meant to be winless heading into week four.
3-0 Haulers 99.04
(up next -> 2-1 Five Alive)
0-3 Dolphins 82.88
(up next -> 2-1 Smytherines)
----------
0-2 team jacob @ 0-2 DaDogg Pound
According to the LFC rules, someone had to win this game - no matter how poorly these teams could possibly play - there was going to be a victor. Sure enough, despite not even starting the required two RBs - the Pounders torched the scoreboard for 161.30pts and crushed team jacob - whose 96.24 would have been enough to win three other games this weekend - hope there's solace in that. The Pounders had four guys put up twenty-plus days - we're talking league dominating type effort here - are they for real? Where have they been? Considering who they're playing next week, the Pounders could be mid-pack going into week five and begin to make a serious run at a playoff seed in the coming weeks. Put down the soda, my friend - one week at a time, sweet cheeses.
0-3 jacob 96.24

----------
1-1 little rupp @ 0-2 Golden Knights
Credit the NYJ WR Braylon Edwards and GB TE Jermichael Finley for the Golden Knights' first victory of the season. While the little rupps' featured a zen-like 40pt performance by the first overall pick of the LFC draft, MIN RB Adrian Peterson, there wasn't much else to get excited about for the rupps - whilst the Knights featured five players in double-digits. Not sure what to make of this golden turn-around ... next week's DaDogg/Knights game will establish which team's makeover is the real deal.

================
LEWIS FAMILY CHALLENGE GAME OF THE WEEK:
2-0 No Punt Intended @ 1-1 a team grows in brooklyn
DevaCurl Bowl I gave the fans their money's worth - as the Intenders mounted a marvelous comeback during the Monday Night Football game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers, a game which by the way, featured prominently in a number of LFC's outcomes this weekend. The Intenders had the Pack D and CHI TE Olsen to pull out a victory for them, while the team huggers had to rely on CHI K Gould to leg out the win. While the outcome was glorious for the brookworms, the game should have never been that close, as Ochocinco and Berrian gave sub-par efforts for the No Punts Left Behind, while their backups Evans/Jones could have squeaked out a win for them. Although the local press will have their digicams pressed up against DET's Best - his 3.9pt orchestration seemed somewhat lacking after last week's Herculean posting against the TinKnights. All in all, it was still a great game to watch down to the final gun late Monday evening. This should be a promising matchup to follow in the coming seasons - and who knows, perhaps these two will face each other again later this fall?

She's BAAAAAACK!
Well folks, after a long break, I've decided to come back to Being Suzanne Mosley. For my big return, you get the first installment of Andrew's Lewis Family Challenge newsletter. That's right, it's fantasy football time again, and this year's family league is bigger than ever. Before I give you the newsletter, here's a list of who each team belongs to. The newsletter won't make much sense if you don't know who The Commish is talking about.
Hamilton Haulers - Andrew (@HamiltonHaulers)
The middle Lewis son, my brother. 40-some years old. Generously hosts this extremely high-maintenance family's football league every year. Compassionate to a fault (or so says Ed).
Mosley Dolphins - Eric Mosley (@ericmoze)
My husband, who is also The Commish of his office's fantasy league. Excessively cute and wickedly smart. That's how he earned his way into this family to begin with.
Sauteed Mules - Suzanne (@shmoozanne74)
Me, dancer extraordinaire, Master of all I see.
RoopDogs - Amy (@lazymom05)
My sister, mother of Nathan, Victoria, Alex and Allyson (also Ashley, who isn't in the league), engaged to Ed. Supplies the amazing trailer park where we hold our draft every Labor Day. And by "supplies", I mean she lives there.
SpecialEd - Ed (@captmongo)
Engaged to my sister Amy, always engaged in lively heated but friendly football related spats with Andrew and EMo. Hater of compassion. This may be why I like him.
A Team Grown In Brooklyn - Bethany (@bethanyglewis)
My niece, ELew's 2nd daughter. Lives in NYC, works at Hearst Publishing, very hip, smart and sarcastic. This is her first year in the league. She joined specifically for the newsletters, so you know they must be good.
Keeping Five Alive - Bonnie (@bonita82)
Elew's oldest daughter, my oldest niece. Mother of 5 cute rugrats, surprisingly relaxed and funny. Turned out to be a major contender in last year's league! Who knew??
Golden Knights - Alex (? is he on twitter?)
Amy's younger son. Jack of all trades, master in his own mind. My son Zach's favorite cousin, "You know Mom, I like that one that works at Chili's..." Falsely accused of getting fired from his job for smelling bad. Sometimes flakes out on setting his lineup due tothe pot liquor having way more important things to do. ALLEGEDLY!
Emmaus Smytherines - Jeff (@smythie86)
Brooke's husband. EMo's co-worker. Linux lover...if I were 5 I'd accuse him of wanting to marry Linux. Sounds like a wild animal when puking.
DaDogg Pound - Nathan (@NateRupp)
Amy's oldest son, following in her bartending footsteps in NYC. Provided the family with arguably the best story of all time. Wearer of natty outfits. Is looking up the meaning of the word "natty" right now.
No Punt Intended - Brooke (@schnookers715)
Bonnie and Bethany's younger sister. Married to Jeff. Has been called Mary Poppins on many occasions. Pretends to be nice to old men for pay. Could probably do more push ups than you.
Team Jacob - Victoria (@vrupple)
Amy's middle daughter. Has been known to hire male escorts for family functions. Is in the process of faking her way through college. Sings a mean version of Hallelujah. Is a self-taught hair braiding expert.
Middletown All Stars - Christopher (way too young for Twitter! ;)
Bonnie's oldest son, this is his first year in the league. As a baseball All-Star, he knows a bit about how to win games. We all need to look out for this underage GM.
Little Rupp - Allyson (way too high school for Twitter! ;)
Amy's youngest daughter, Victoria's sister. With her assets, you wonder why she doesn't do better in a fantasy league. Is trying to take over her brother's status as Zach's favorite Chili's cousin.
And there you have it. The list of the Lewis Family fantasy football teams. Now the newsletters might make a tad more sense. If you need clarification, just ask. Refer back to this post if needed for future newsletters.
Following is the first installment of the newsletter, the Week 1 Preview:
__________________________________________________________________
Thus ... we give you ... the brand spankin' new ... LFC 2010 Week 1 PREVIEW:
================
LEWIS FAMILY CHALLENGE
GAME OF THE WEEK:
"Dolphins @ SpecialEd"
* Both of these teams feature the game's smartest general managers, proven winners that keep their franchises in championship form year in and year out. Except for 2009. The Dolphins and Special Ed both suffered uncharacteristic losing streaks to close out last season. The memory of those losses will still be fresh in their minds as they take the field this weekend. The Dolphins feature some of the game's most exciting offensive players, in Brady, Owens, Sims-Walker, Driver, Clark - but they're nursing camp dings and bruises ... Meanwhile Special Ed's starting lineup is primed and ready for the season to kickoff - Jackson, Forte, Knox, and Schaub will all feature prominently in this team's scoring. PREDICTION: SpecialEd by 12pts
GAMES TO KEEP AN EYE ON:
Haulers @ Sauteed Mules
* These two teams were at the top of the standings all season long and there is no reason to think we won't see more of the same in 2010. This is definitely a statement game for these two franchises - who will start off this new season with a resounding victory over a playoff contender?
Smytherines @ DaDogg Pound
* The Pounders were the league's checkout counter for wins/points last season as teams cued up for a chance at a free win and an opportunity to run up the scoreboard. "Those days are over," says our source from the DaDogg offices. If that's true, they got heck of a game to prove it - as they line up against one of last season's toughest teams, the Smytherines - recently moved from the Virginia mountains to the Pennsylvania foothills of the Lehigh Valley. The Pounders have placed their 2010 hopes on RB Chris Johnson (the league's #1 overall pick). You can bet they're praying the injury plinko disk doesn't land on him.
BEST OF THE REST:
roop dogs @ a team grows in brooklyn
* The BK horticulturists are one of the league's new franchises - and their first match is a tough one, a perennial playoff contender in the roop dogs. This will be a great test for the tree-huggers.
Keeping Five Alive @ Golden Knights
* GM of the Year, Bonnie Johnson, has assembled an impressive starting roster and kicks off her 2010 season against one of last season's floormats, the Golden Knights. The vortex that was the 2009 season put down not only the Pounders, but also the once mighty Knights. Its a new season and with their high draft picks, the Knights have a chance to prove last season was a fluke.
No Punt Intended @ team jacob
* "Its a cat fight!" - The feline hairballs will be flying in this matchup - between the trans-formative jacobites and the newly declawed Intenders. The jacobians are another one of the league's new franchises for 2010 and they've been served a nice manageable portion for their first venture into this realm we call "The Challenge".
All Stars @ littlerupp
* The AllStars are the last of our newest teams and they get a cakewalk for their first game in the league. The littlerupp is a franchise in disarray, although their management insists they've spent the off-season in team-building exercises, sensitivity focus re-entrenchment contiguous disciplines, and creative macrame. All with the goal of doubling their win total from last season.
Hamilton Haulers - Andrew (@HamiltonHaulers)
The middle Lewis son, my brother. 40-some years old. Generously hosts this extremely high-maintenance family's football league every year. Compassionate to a fault (or so says Ed).

The Face Of Postpartum
These pictures were taken in March of 2003, I think it was a birthday party for Ashley. Why was I there? I'd just had a baby in November, and was probably looking for any excuse to get dressed and get out of the house...Amy called and said she was throwing Ashley her first "boy/girl" party, and I should come for the entertainment value, if nothing else.

She's Full Of Hot Air
Here's a funny video clip I found of my niece Victoria, filmed many years ago at a birthday party. Eric had created a website, www.mosleyzone.com, when we first got married, and it was where everyone in the family went to see recent pictures and the family birthday/anniversary calendar. Eric hasn't touched mosleyzone in years, but back in the day it was the hippest site to visit in our family...Anyway, Victoria was doing a mosleyzone welcome greeting that I was going to put on the homepage.
