Swim in the Light

 As far as the combo rapper/R&B artists go, there is only one option opposite of Drake and that is Kid Cudi. He was doing it before Drake even, and he continues to do it well with his latest album "Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin.'" He has a slew of great guests including Andre Benjamin, Travis Scott, Willow Smith and Pharrell Williams. He is definitely still on top of his game. 

I am on to the the championship in only one of my fantasy leagues :( I am in the third place game and fifth place game in the two others. I ditched my fourth league (a dynasty league team that I co-owned) to take over another owners team in the same league. It will take some major rebuilding to be successful. 

I have a couple dozen photos from events from Dec. 8-13. Included: gymnastics, girls basketball and boys basketball.
