Tuesday Talking Points
Planeswalker Points
Magic is switching from an ELO type system to one that rewards playing. The new system rewards playing, which is smart on both rewards both business and fun interests. It also appeals to the level up system of RPG's. I guess newer players, though, will never know the joy of breaking the 1800 barrier.
Fantasy Football
I drafted an All SEC team, with Eli Manning as my QB and Arian Foster, Peyton Hillis, and Felix Jones as my RB's. The weakness are my WR's, where I'll be choosing from the lot of Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice, Hines Ward, AJ Green, or Early Doucet each week. Jason Witten at TE was pretty much my only viable choice at the position. As it turns out, Ryan Succop of the Chiefs kicked collegiately at South Carolina.

Autumn
After a record breaking heat wave this summer, my Facebook feed exploded with compliments for the great weather on Labor Day. Apparently, many of my Tulsa peeps went to the zoo. Taking the kids to the park, walking around the neighborhood, and mowing the lawn were popular activities as well. The weather is indeed a polite subject of conversation.
Labor Day
I spent Sunday with my college and career Bible study group from church. We spent Sunday night at a house out in the boonies. Good night of Mexican food, fishing, pool, foosball, and watching people die playing the New Super Mario Bros for the Wii.
