Take a Picture of This

Don Henley, the Eagles drummer and vocalist (Eagles are my favorite band of all time, FYI), recently released Cass County a "back to his roots"-type album that is very country music driven. Though I'm a bigger fan of the Eagles' more rocking songs (Life in the Fast Lane, Get Over it, etc.), this album is very enjoyable. Henley has proven that he can be successful without the Eagles, and this album is no different. I really like the song "Take a Picture of This." It is pure Henley. A very Eagles-esque country/crossover song is "No, Thank You." A litany of guest stars appear on the album as well including: Merle Haggard, Mick Jagger, Miranda Lambert and even Dolly Parton.

Fantasy football continues to get worse for me, as my team continues to get injured. If that was not bad enough, daily did not go well this week, and I'm on the last few dollars of my initial investment. Without a few wins this week, I'll have to either stop daily or pump more money into it. Wish me some better luck!

As always I have some photos to share. There is quite a big batch this week. The photos are from events that I covered between Sept. 17 and Sept. 22.
