Fantasy Football

With football season in full swing, it’s time to start talking about fantasy football. I have never been a part of a league before but decided to join one with my friends. I am nervous because I don’t really know what I’m doing or how it works, but I am also excited to see how my team does.

We have 16 players in the league and had an in-person draft last weekend. It took a while since there were so many of us drafting, and some of the guys were strategic with their picks. I like to watch football but don’t know much about other teams in the league besides the Eagles, so I had to ask some people for a little advice while picking.

I think I have a pretty good team. I have some Eagles players I was excited to get, as well as Russell Wilson as my quarterback, which was who I wanted, so I was happy.

With the long season ahead, I am going to have to ask my dad and brothers for advice on who to trade, play and keep to ensure I have the best team playing.

Although I have to root for the other players on my team, I will never root against the Eagles. I will hope the individual players do well in the games each week but will always hope the Eagles do better.

I am so nervous for this upcoming Eagles season with the quarterback change, having a young quarterback, the coaching staff changes and everything in between. I am still hopeful, though!

Go Birds!

We headed to The Langham Huntington, Pasadena for the 20th anniversary of the GT Tested Reader Survey awards, which meant a jam-packed trip, but I managed to carve a little time out of our busy schedule to visit Chuan Spa at the hotel.

Fukui: A Culture Hub in Rural Japan Worth the Detour

In many cases, less can be more in terms of what smaller cities and small-scale museums have to offer. This is true for Fukui Prefecture, located on the west coast of the main island and best known for its coastline, terrain and quiet towns. While major cities are awash with large-scale museums, bucolic Fukui Prefecture is worth a visit for its assemblage of institutions offering a deeper dive into Japanese life, history and culture.
