I Can't Quit You Baby

It had been more than a decade since the Rolling Stones had released an album. That shouldn't be surprised since they are mostly corpses at this point, but they are still capable musicians apparently, as proven by their latest relsease "Blue and Lonesome." The album is a collection of blues songs and are pretty gosh darn good. My favorite features a lead guitar guest spot by Eric Clapton, "I Can't Quit You Baby." Keep rocking until you drop Stones.

Fantasy football was a bit of a downer this week. I was on bye in two leagues, having captured No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in a pair of leagues. In the other two, it was the final week of the regular season, and losses in each ended my playoff hopes. Here's to a championship run with my remaining two teams.

I have a couple dozen photos from some wrestling and basketball, Dec. 1-6.
