This edition of the Liga Weekly goes out to all the hardcore homemakers, diabolical color schemers, and otherwise crafty women people out there. This week, we salute your hero and figurehead, Martha “M. Diddy” Stewart: the ultimate parole model.

Yes, that’s right; I finished a team logo this week. And you can learn all about it in this post. Grab some cabbage and your favorite cutting board and we’ll be underway.

Of course, I’ll also award FAABulous prize$ for the Liga in week 7. I’m not sure anyone really cares about the FAABulous prize$, though, so this week marks my first attempt to include something that might be of interest to . . . well, anyone.

. . . I could go on, but the football season might be over before I finished. I can see why Dickens limited himself to just TWO cities in his tale. Not only is the binary “best/worst” approach a good deal pithier, it’s a lot less work than delineating twelve gradations for each qualitative descriptor.

Fortunately for Chuck D., just about everything in his little tale took place in or around Paris and London. While I would love to slack like the Dickens, I am afforded no such luxury by the very nature of my subject matter: the 2010 Liga Guadalupe.
