Capable of Anything

Ben Folds is a brilliant song writer and musician, and he certainly provides that in spades in his latest album "So There," which came out last Friday. I am a big fan of all of classical instrumentation found throughout the album, along with the silliness (check out F-10-D-A). He also tackles serious subjects, and brings along three beautiful Concertos. It is truly a magnificent album.

Fantasy football started this week! I played in four leagues, going 2-2. In my most important league I lost by eight :(, however, I am very happy with my fourth and fifth round draft picks (DeAndre Hopkins, Carlos Hyde). Dez Bryant, my first round pick, is out for eight weeks though. I won $35 in the draftkings.com big $10 million contest. I was somewhere around 34,000 out of more than 500,000 entries. Pretty happy about that.

Anywho, here are some photos. I apologize for graininess and quality on a few. I had the wrong angle for soccer, and the ISO up too high for volleyball.
