  1. Sweet! You know I'm going to have some unsolicited advice for you. 

    Tomorrow is the annual bridge walk on the Mac bridge. I'm not sure what your schedule is like but I would try to avoid it, it will be a disaster. 

    Check out Castle Rock on St. Ignace on the UP side of the bridge. It's a hokey tourist trap but your boy will probably dig taking a picture with the giant Paul Bunyan and climbing up to the lookout. The local delicacy is a pasty. It's just a meat pie with gravy and vegetables but people love them up there for some reason. 

    Avoid Mackinaw City. The island is pretty touristy and not my favorite thing and Mac City is like a cheaper more touristy version but without horses.

    The best part of the State imo is the Northern lower in the summer. Petoskey, Chalevoix, Traverse City, Torch Lake, Harbor Springs, Glen Arbor all beautiful. Stuff for kids to do in most of the above. Shorts brewery is in Bellaire on Torch Lake. Dockside is a burger bar with a nice patio on the lake and fun to watch the boats pull up and go by. 

    There is an indoor water park and new giant Sky bridge with a view at Boyne Mountain. You might already see some fall colors this time of year.

    If you only have time to do one stop I would do Traverse City or Petoskey. Both great towns with plenty to do. Traverse City has a better beach and beach facilities. There is also a strip in Acme on your way into TC that has hokey shit for the kids. Pirate's Cove Adventure golf, zip lines etc. Don's drive inn for burgers and milkshakes. 

    Oh and Sleeping Bear dunes. You will be shocked that Michigan has scenery that looks like that. 

    Have fun!

    Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, so I'd like to take a moment to remember Gandy (Lord Gandalf's Bane) pictured below, and my two male all-black GSDs, Duke (Duke Wayne of Greenwood Village) and Price (Prince of Brighton Place) whom I no longer have any pictures of thanks to my ex's petty bitterness.  Sebastian and I look forward to seeing you guys some day

    Gandy looks a lot like my old Malamute Kosmo when she was a pup. RIP to both. p_v22auy4a23v0426.thumb.jpg.41d2f0cc21620f2d6c720a603776da9a.jpgp_v22auy4a23v2415.thumb.jpg.c2d165e8a7ec3715161607034954bf67.jpgp_v22auy4a23v0422.thumb.jpg.61d99f380ad32c3cab4129fd260504a3.jpg

  3. With the AJ Dillon news, hopefully people are drafting Marshawn Lloyd. Also if you drafted either Mostert or Achane, you should be drafting Jaylen Wright if you can. For post week 1 wire pickups, I'm paying attention to Diyami Brown, also Adonai Mitchell and Jermaine Burton. 

  4. Drafted in my auction league today. I really like my team but the metrics don't. It's a single keeper league and keeper value starts at 35/200 budget and goes up 5 every additional year a player is kept. I kept Josh Allen for 35. Our league also pays out for MVP and he/we won that last year, and it wasn't close. Hurts was 2nd and CMC 3rd. The metrics don't really like teams built around QBs. My 2 top backs are Etienne and Mostert. PPR league and they were 3rd and 2nd last year in RB scoring in this league. I know A'Chane got hurt last year but Mostert scored 21 TDs and is still running with the starters. I can't understand why he's so cheap this year. 

    Guy I really like this year but was unable to grab him because another team with more in their coffers also really liked him: Terry McLaurin

    Rookies I like: Ray Davis, Jaylen Wright , Kimani Vidal, Brian Thomas JR, Keon Coleman, Xavier Worthy

    Disclaimer. I haven't made the playoffs since probably the Obama administration.
