Fantasy Football

So I decided to join a fantasy football league. My nephew Kevin suggested I give it a try, so I did. The name of my team is "3rd String" why? because I was a bit hesitant to talk any smack or oversell myself. With this being said, I made my picks...(see below). As the season progresses I will update by talent in football. So Stay tuned.

The Getty

We decided to play hookie on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We headed out to The Getty. The Getty is always impressive with its rich architecture, atmosphere, friendliness, art collection, and their food...yes their food. "The Restaurant" is by reservations only, and the food was delightful. The menu changes weekly which is an interesting concept.

Here are some of our favorite shots.

There is nothing like the talent of self photography...

Audi S5/A5

I do not get excited much about certain cars. But this case it is different. The New Audi A5/S5, is a thing of beauty. It screams out performance, styling, and luxury. It is to compete with the likeness of the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class. I must say hands down this is a winner. Can you see me in this?

Barry Bonds

This is what the Dodgers think of Barry Bonds (Intentional Walk). As he maybe considered one of the greatest baseball players, I beg to differ. I believe that baseball is not a sport of oneness, but a team effort. "There is no I in TEAM". There is plenty of controversy surrounding him with the whole "steroids" case. I am not going to judge him on that, only he knows if he is innocent or not. I wish we can see that because of what he does and says the media tends to target him. But most important as he becomes the All-Time Home Run King. He needs to understand that so many kids look up to him a a role model, and he should have the humility to do such. These are my two cents!!

Dodger Game

Thanks to my brother Martin for making this possible. So we took a group of people (Martin, Sue, Stephanie, Sean, Kevin, Katja, and Anne - from Finland visiting) to the Dodger game, hoping the Barry Bonds would break the HR record. We wanted for him to break the record at Dodger Stadium so we can cheer and boo for him at the same time. Bonds is surrounded by controversy, but that's who he is.
