The time change means shorter days, but it also brings something fun: night golf! We&rsquo;ve been hitting the course under the lights, and while they&rsquo;re decent, glow balls make it way better. It&rsquo;s a laid-back vibe with jeans, hoodies, and even a backpack of beers. No one&rsquo;s keeping score or minding that we played as a sixsome. Just good times and lots of laughs.

Night Golf Vibes

October baseball is a marathon, but wow, was it worth every minute this year! Watching the Dodgers take it all was a wild ride &ndash; pure adrenaline, late nights, and nonstop excitement. It all started with the Padres, easily the toughest test of the postseason. That series was intense, had me on the edge of my seat every game. But once we got through San Diego, it felt like the Dodgers found their groove.
And that final showdown with the Yankees? Straight-up domination. The team was firing on all cylinders, and the crowd at Dodger Stadium was electric. Seeing them lift the trophy in LA was everything we&rsquo;d hoped for. It was exhausting, but I&rsquo;d do it all over again for October baseball like that! Here&rsquo;s to the boys in blue &ndash; 2024 champs!

Dodgers Win!

The World Series is here, and it feels like a dream matchup, Dodgers vs. Yankees. This is the kind of showdown that takes me back to my childhood, watching these two powerhouses battle it out in the '70s and '80s. I can still remember the 1981 series when the Dodgers pulled off that big win, and I&rsquo;m hoping for a repeat this year. It's one of those rare moments in baseball that really connects the past to the present.
I&rsquo;m excited, but I&rsquo;ll admit I&rsquo;m a bit nervous too. The Yankees are always a tough challenge, and this matchup has all the makings of a classic. Here&rsquo;s hoping the Dodgers can come out on top again and bring another title back to L.A. Let&rsquo;s go, Dodgers!

Meet Kenley, our adventurous Greater Swiss Mountain dog who usually roams the urban jungle, but was recently thrilled to explore the wild mountains. From hiking on massive boulders, walking in streams, to engaging with mountain cows, her journey was filled with discoveries. The twist? Kenley decided to roll in cow dung and truly immerse herself in nature's offerings. Yikes! Watch the video to see her in action.

So proud as my son Derek graduates from CU, having earned his BS in Business Administration, specializing in Entrepreneurialism. I have no doubt that his time in Boulder has prepared him well for what's to come. Can't wait to witness his next victories! <img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/nextfan-staging.appspot.com/o/files%2FqyV0JePZ8md5gsJrCAg1cGLAm8g2%2F1716410260882?alt=media&amp;token=c6d35625-21cb-4734-978c-aabc2be9a52f" alt="" width="1440" height="1080">

When we had our football draft last year, it marked the 35th anniversary of fantasy football for our group of friends. Started in 1988 calculating point totals from the USA Today&rsquo;s sports section.
