Last Day of School

Their first album in 11 years may be a flop, but I still love the band Boston, so this week I chose the song "Last Day of School" from their new album "Life, Love & Hope." It will soon be the last day of school before the holiday break, at least that's my rationale.

This past week I covered some Dakota College at Bottineau hockey, a pair of DCB basketball games and Bottineau Stars 19U.

I have a game (and pep band) tonight for the Bottineau boy's basketball team, and I will travel to Westhope on Friday to cover the Sioux girls basketball team.

I went 2-2 in my fantasy football leagues, which puts me in the championship in those two leagues. In the others I'm playing for pride in the ninth place game, and the seventh place game.

I had another poor NFL pick 'em week with only eight right.

I have a number of pictures to share from the past week, enjoy and follow on twitter @typhoonater467.
