Here are a few things I’ve been thinking about this week: I had planned to explore this in depth, but I got way too far off-topic with what I was writing to even think about posting it. Here’s the condensed version: This week in the Wednesday night Bible class I’m teaching (3rd-5th grade), I had […]

What's going on?
It’s been a while since I checked in. My fantasy baseball draft is Saturday, so I’m spending pretty much every free minute between now and then preparing for it. Baseball season kind of sneaked up on me this year, since HU’s basketball season lasted longer than usual. Combine that with the D-I tourney’s late start […]
Weekly Notes: February 21, 2008

Or, in other words, my fantasy team. I drafted my team last night, and as usual, there were plenty of surprises during the draft. I’ll get to those in a minute, but first, I have a disclaimer/explanation: I know no one really cares about anyone else’s fantasy baseball team, unless it’s another team in your […]
Opening Day on the Senior Circuit
…”The Senior Circuit” being the name of my Sportsline fantasy baseball league, that is. I’m starting to lose count of how many years I’ve been playing fantasy now, but I think it’s probably about the 10th year I’ve had a team that I drafted (instead of one of those other online salary cap-style leagues). I’ve […]
