| Four more years! Four more years! . . .I just have to say that I awoke this morning and gave my wife a big hug and cheered for "Four more years!" Naturally, I want a heckuva lot more years with this woman than a mere four more. It just seemed like the best anniversary gag this election year... I digress.
I just wanted to tell everyone how happy I am to have found and married my Kimberly. She is an amazing woman and I am the luckiest guy on earth to have her as my wife. Ee-taow!

| Still looking for work. It has been wonderful staying home with Donny. Wish I could make a career out of that....
Kim posted more Donny photos.

| I am officially unemployed again. It is on account of the requirements for the job I was originally hired to do changing into something I apparently cannot do. I will be getting paid through May 16th, so that is the good news. Hopefully, I can find something else soon.
My birthday is this Saturday. Happy birthday to me....
And in case you missed it Kim posted some newer pics of our boy...

| Greetings friends!
In my inaugural 2008 Xanga post, I am extending an invitation of sorts. I decided to play in two fantasy baseball leagues this year. There is the league I played in the last couple of years that rounds up the usual suspects and one that I have created on my own. This invitation is open to the first nine who express genuine interest in participating.
Before you go rushing to sign up, let me explain what can be expected if you are to take this "hobby" seriously. First, you will have to create a team name. I tend to go with names that relate to my locale, whether historic or farcical in nature, it does not matter. I just try to keep in mind that I want to upload a logo for whatever team name I create. You can change your team's name all the way up until within 24 hours of the live draft.
The league I created, Bad Andys All Stars, consists of 10 total teams that will compete to find a champion. In order to create a team, actual MLB players will be drafted from the NL and AL in a live draft. I have scheduled the live draft for Saturday March 22nd @7pm ET. While attendance is optional, I strongly recommend you attend. In order to attend you must be logged into the Internet at that time, otherwise it will "auto-pick" for you and you may end up with a row of quality players who are all battling serious injuries. Translation: You may have to go and pick through the "left overs" in order to launch your fantasy baseball season somewhat successfully.
During the season, team owners (that's you) set the line up for that week of play. Typically this runs from Monday-Sunday. You are not required to set your lineup on Sunday nights; you just need to have your changes made before the first MLB game on Monday. Thus, you could set up for the next week on Friday, but miss out on adjustments you'd rather have made due to a Sunday injury. Happens all the time... Your roster will consist of both MLB players as well as reserves from both leagues at various positions. Throughout the season you can drop poor performers for new talent at any given time, but they may not be able to go into your lineup until the next game.
Your MLB players score points for hits (1B, 2B, 3B, HR, etc...) and pitching (Wins, Ks, Saves, Losses, Earned runs, etc...). Each week players from your team compete with players from another. That one week is essentially one game. The total points at the end of the week determine who wins that game. The person with essentially the best record at the end of the season is the league champion. (I've never won a championship, but I have placed 2nd on two occasions. I've lost miserably on twice as many occasions.)
So...
If you want to participate and can commit to do so from the end of March through September, then let me know you are interested. I will give you all the information you need to get signed up. I'm even willing to answer every question you have until the competition begins, when I'll have to be a bit more selective in the quality of answers I can give. ;)
Remember, I've only got nine spots available and I'm expecting them to fill up fast. Looking forward to hearing from y'all!
To sign up go to cbssportsline.com and create an account if you do not already have one (it's free). Once there, join up to play free fantasy baseball. You will be asked to type in the name of your team. This can be changed up until 24hours before the live draft. The next screen has all the leagues listed. Search the "private leagues" for "Bad Andys All Stars" and click to join. I believe the password is "theshire". If that doesn't work let me know and I'll try and remember what I put. lol You've signed up. Now rank your players if you can't make the live draft, or log in at the appointed time on Saturday March 22nd.
Oh yeah. Invite your friends if you want.
*EDIT Not enough people signed up in time, so let me know if you're still interested and I'll set us up with a new league & password.
