SPOILER ALERT
If you have not read Quiz #81. Tremor just yet, you’re about to read the answer to the “What did NOT happen?” question from that quiz.
Here’s the answer:
What did NOT happen?
A. In a phone call with my son Ted, we talked about other things that might be causing my tremor. He asked how much coffee I was drinking. I told him 5 to 6 cups a day. That’s probably too much. I’ve since cut it down to 3 to 4 cups a day;
B. Even before the tremors, I knew I needed to exercise more than just the 2 dogs walks I take every morning and night. Months ago, Sara and I ordered an upright exercise bike. It arrived the day I went to the doctor. I put it together after my brain scan and have been “riding” every other day since;
C. Before heading back to teaching 4th grade at the school in our town where they are still planning on “in person” learning, Betsy decided to take another trip to Michigan for a baby shower for a college friend. Sara and I agreed to watch her 2 dogs, Fred and Brownie, so we’ve had 4 dogs for the last few days. Twice the fun and twice the dog walks;
D. I needed a break from heavy reading and picked up “Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A true (as told to me) story” from Bess Kalb on a whim after seeing it on Twitter. I read the book in a day. Even though it’s about the death of Kalb’s grandmother, the book is great, sweet and life-affirming;
E. As the football season gets closer, I was approached by “Big John,” a Texas doctor who I met on the internet. He wanted me to join a special fantasy football league he’s put together with different rules for 2020 that one website has called “pandemic proof.” A man of my word from Quiz #62. Football Fantasy on June 28th, I told “Big John” that I would not be playing fantasy football in 2020.
“Big John” has come up with a fantasy football game for 2020 that’s flexible and workable. There’s no draft and it won’t take a lot of studying so there’s not a lot of time wasted if the season gets cancelled. In addition, all bets are off if the season doesn’t make it beyond Week 8. I still don’t see how the NFL will make it through the season, but I was so impressed with Big John’s plan that I decided to break my promise and play fantasy football. What’s more, I’ve also set up my own league, using a modified version of his format. It’s 9-player DFS squad each week, no salary cap with one interesting wrinkle. Once you pick a player, you cannot pick him again. If this makes sense to you and you’d like to play, send me an email or leave me a comment and I will invite you to join the “Promises, Promises” league for 2020
