Happy Holidays

Tony Stewart’s Reindeer #14 By Springwolf

From Our Family To Yours

May you all have a blessed, abundant and joyful Holiday Season!
This time of year is for good cheer, peace and compassion between all people.

It’s the time for Pagan Yule, which begins at sunset on the Winter Solstice (for 2012 that’s December 21st) and ends at sunset on January 1st.

It’s also Hanukkah,which starts on the Hebrew calendar date of 25 Kislev, and lasts for eight days. This year Hanukkah begins in the evening of December 8, 2012, and ends in the evening of December 16, 2012.

It’s the time of Kwanzaa begins December 26, 2012, and ends January 1, 2013.

And it’s the time for Christmas which is celebrated on December 25th, 2012.

Whatever holiday you celebrate, we all will be cheering on December 31st to ring in the New Year.

Whither that’s Merry Yule, Happy Holidays, Merry Solstice or whatever you want to say. Allow the feeling of peace and unity to spread on through you and let it grow in strength and compassion.

So Merry Yule to one and all. I hope your chosen holiday is a bright one filled with joy, peace and abundance through all the days to come.

Sir Evil Makes His Assessments and Picks

Week 14

The game to watch this week: Houston at the Pats. This game decides which team goes to the Superbowl to beat Atlanta.

I got the bet right on the Dallas game. Sad to say Philly didn’t beat them though. I guess the Dallas fans are out of money now, cause there aren’t any good bets this week.

My take: Continue reading →

Spring and The Prince Review The Games of the Week

Wasn’t a bad week for me. 10 of 16 games, that’s about 63%. And let me say that’s a better weekly average than some professional commentators and their picks last week. So I’m happy with that. And that’s also my season average so far as well. Not bad for a ‘girl’. The Prince however, well he’s got some work to do. But one thing he has on his side is loyalty. He’s bound and determined to make his picks by his which animal is bigger method. I’m trying to teach him about statistics and injury reports. He listens, but still goes back to his animal loyalty.

So last week’s results were interesting. I’m ecstatic that my Skins won Monday night against the Giants. And I’m not the only fan who was pleased as punch! One of the Redskins most famous fans was also thrilled to no end. So much so that he even put his emotions into words and it was printed by ESPN with an introduction by Marty Smith. Even if you’re just a fan of the NFL and not a Skins fan, you should still read the article. It captures the emotions of any die-hard fan for their favorite team.

Sir Evil’s Picks

Well the computer figured on the Lions eating the Texans but it looks like Texans like Lions for dinner. Hear they taste just like everything else the Texans have eaten.

For Dallas fans, I got good news and bad news. Good news! You will not have the crap beat out of you by the Bears in the playoffs. Bad news: If you are there at all, you will be safely in the stands watching the game.

My take: Continue reading →

Spring and The Prince Make Their Picks

Wasn’t such a bad week, except my laptop died. Other than that, I got 10 out of 16 games and I’m happy with that. I’m still not sure how some of these guys won their games considering who they were up against.

How in the world did Miami beat Seattle? Did the Seahawks forget to get on the plane or something? And what happened to the Saints? They were sloppy, unfocused and looked as if they were playing on jet lag. All in all, even with those losses, I’m happy with the week.

Here are our results from Week 12 Continue reading →

2012 – NFL Week 11 Results & 12 Picks

Spring and The Prince Make Their Picks

Happy Thanksgiving one and all. May your table be filled with abundance, Joy and Love all the year and through this holiday season!

Woohoo!!! What a week 11!! I lost 1 game, thanks to the Jets killing St. Louis! But I guess I can live with that! The Prince didn’t do so bad. He’s still at 50% which is better than his previous years of picking games.

This past week he received an award for making the Honor Roll at school. I have no doubt that as time goes by and he becomes more interested in sports that his picks will become better.

Week 11 Results
Until then, here’s our results from last week. Continue reading →

Evil’s Picks and Results

Got 9 games, but gambling went into the crapper.

Noticed the Texans did their best to feed the kitties. But in the end, they finally cut them into steaks and roasted them. Today they will probably have some bigger kitties instead of turkey.

Since last week the prediction for the Superbowl has changed. Atlanta goes, Green Bay doesn’t. For the few weeks before that favor shifted ever so slightly from Green Bay to New England. Now the computer says the Pats will beat Atlanta.

When Your Kid Becomes Smarter Than You

Just Give Up Now

It’s Going To Happen To Every Parent

This week the little Prince, who’s 9 wrote his first blog post on our family Pirate101 fan site. He really made a pretty good Captain’s Log chronicling his character’s progress.

Now this kid has been teaching himself how to program for the past 2 years. If he wants to know something, he reads the “man” pages or Googles for instructions then does it. It not only has improved his reading (the 4th grader who is reading on a college level); but it has taught him how to problem solve and resolve. Considering Dad and I are both techno-geeks, it’s something we’re very proud of and even impressed by.

In praising him, I mentioned the slide show he added to his post and how that was really neat. I asked how he learned to do that.

He responds: “I found a button“.

Making this even worse….I can’t find the button and I’m actually looking for it!

Evil’s Week 11 Picks

I don’t wanna talk about week 10. That week is dead to me.

If the Texans don’t slow down their eating habits they’re going to need Jenny Craig… er wait, forget that idea, they’d probably actually eat her too. So far they’ve had dolphin (hear it tastes just like chicken), jaguar, bronco, greek god (tastes just like ambrosia which I understand is a lot like a hotdog), jet aircraft, raven, buffalo and the rider and now bear. Hope they liked jaguar because they get a second helping this week.

NFL Week 10 Resutls – 11 Picks

Spring & The Prince Share Their Picks

Wasn’t a bad week last Sunday. While I’m ecstatic that the Saints beat Atlanta, I’m also very surprised. I really thought the Falcons would go a little farther being undefeated. They’re awesome this season, but as I mentioned last week, I think New Orleans found their soul again! I’m very happy about that!

On the other side of that was Dallas winning in Philadelphia. I really expected the Eagles to play a whole lot better at home than they did. They looked sloppy, confused and out of sync. That game was very disappointing.

Then there’s the Rams and 49’ers. How in the world did San Francisco not win that game? And for it to end in a tie was equally surprising. Simply wow.

So here are our results for Week 10. Continue reading →
