“It’s in the Stars”

Each and every year on my birthday, I always enjoy reading my birthday horoscope over a cup of coffee.  This morning I had to laugh as I read the below caption.

Being born on the 17th of December you are an avid and decisive goal setter, you will naturally put lots of effort and energy into achieving worthwhile things and acts of kindness. You prefer to finish anything you start before attempting another aspiration.

I finally have the answer for the next time I’m asked, “What’s my secret to completing all of these full season APBA Football replays?”  “It’s simple, it’s in the stars”.

Besides playing APBA Football, there are three things I love.  My wife, a good steak and a fine cigar.  The below birthday celebration collage sums it up.

“Play-Calling” Spreadsheets

Awhile back, I posted a solitaire play calling system designed by Mr. Doug Reese. My good friend and APBA Football expert, Mr. Mark DerGarabedian, used his Excel expertise to incorporate Doug’s system into two “user-friendly” spreadsheets. This is just another example of the selflessness of our gaming community. I for one believe the more “tools we have in the toolbox” the better it is for all of us.
