Gloating Dept.

While I can, I need to get at it and start talking some smack about one of my Rotisserie hockey teams.  This year marks the return of a family-based hockey pool in our clan.  The draft was Thursday night, and my charges were quick off the mark when league play officially began last evening.  As of this morning, my team is perched atop the standings with a whopping 99.5 points out of a possible 121.   Now it is well known that my fantasy hockey squads long ago cornered the market on mediocrity – rarely have I appeared in the standings at any time above fourth place, and I generally run about middle of the pack when all is said and done.  Needless to say, the front office is jubilant and everyone is wandering around with fingers crossed – which would explain all the coffee spills in the meeting rooms here at Junior’s Jokers HQ.  It’s tough to hold a coffee mug with your fingers crossed.
