I\u2019m writing for tomorrow, day 180.  I\u2019m still feeling quite tired after yesterday.  I\u2019m waiting for Store to Door to call for my grocery order.  After that I\u2019ll catch some sun and a nap.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s took me 4:53 (average 5:37).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the latest from our own fantasy football league, Lefty Blog Friends<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n

A new leader is tiptoeing through the end zone.  She\u2019s so hot she doesn\u2019t even want the good trade I offered her.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Upworthy<\/a>: <\/font>Whether or not you already know who Reza Aslan is, know this: This man is a voice of reason. From the moment he starts talking at 1:21, I’m absolutely smitten with his words. Skip to 4:49 to watch him answer the question we’re all waiting for him to answer. <\/p>\n

But wait! He’s still got more to say. Starting at 8:22, Aslan has some parting words for the CNN hosts and drops the mic in a pretty epic way.<\/p>\n

This segment gets an A+ from me. I hope you’ll think so, too. <\/p>\n
