Good morning everyone. I am awake thanks to the guy who is chipping away (literally) at the swimming pool at my complex that has been out of commission since the start of June, so it seems like now would be a good time to gloat... As the pool is drained of the green water that has filled it for the past few weeks, I can drain the champagne bottles (imaginary) that I had on ice (also imaginary) after the Miami Heat downed the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games to win the NBA Title last night. The many, many readers of this blog (two) probably thought that I was crazy when I predicted that the Heat would beat the Thunder in five games to win the trophy. This is probably the proudest moment of the blog sportswise since I predicted that the Giants would beat the Patriots 24-21 in the most recent Super Bowl - Final Score: Giants 21 Patriots 17. My phone has literally been ringing off the hook this morning with calls from ESPN, Fox Sports, Sports Illustrated (actually, no one has called). I have mentioned here in the past that one of the reasons that I started this blog (sportswise) was to give me a place to keep track of my predictions in case I did decide to move back to the desert - it gives me a good place to track my results (now a dog is barking at the guy chipping away at the pool)... I honestly hope that I have a comparable rate of success betting sporting events in the upcoming year to match the frequency that I have had in calling games and series with success this year. Sorry, maintenance just stopped by to change my air conditioning filter - I swear that it's like Grand Central Station around here this morning (okay, without the masses of humanity, and the smells, and the trains obviously, but otherwise, just like it)...
Where 'Bikini Hill' is sitting right now in relation to sports and Fridays is that you will be reading a little bit about baseball, and A LOT about FOOTBALL in the NEXT SEVEN MONTHS!!! :) During the month of July, one of my many projects in preparing for my move will be an IN-DEPTH STUDY of college and NFL football. I will predict right now that I will be one of the most knowledgeable people that you know when it comes to the 124 FBS and 32 NFL teams for the 2012 season (at least I freakin hope so)... ;) Let me thank you again for stopping by my little piece of the internet. The pageview counter to the right of my drivel is telling me that 'Bikini Hill' will very likely go over the 9,000 view mark this weekend, so to the two of you who have clicked on this website almost 4,500 times, keep up the good work! When I get the chance to start exercising more next month, I may start posting my weight-loss results here on Fridays also. I weighed 233 pounds on May 28th, and I'm trying to get that down to 215 by the end of July. I stopped eating bread about ten days ago (but who is counting?), and I have not been a scale again because I want to get a chance to work out regularly first. August is likely to go much more smoothly if I am in shape, and physical fitness seems like it should have something to do with sports, so you'll probably start seeing those updates here on Fridays in a couple of weeks.
I hope that you have a great weekend and I'll see you again on Monday.
