I am a 35yo married and father of twins. I will update the photos once in a while. They were born 3 months early in March of 2008 and went through a tough first 4 months. They are now doing well.

Any fantasy football owners out there? I am in middle of my drafts right now (5 online leagues) and curious what everyone's outlook for 2008 looks like?

BF is in some fantasy football league with some of his friends and family. I have no idea who he has though... I couldn't even grasp the scoring system when he was trying to explain it to me!

How did your draft go? I have a couple coming up next week. Any sleepers that you recommend?

See my latest entry for team #1 and check back- as other drafts finish I will post those teams too.

jIM_Ohio is Investing to retire early

Instead of making retirement a question, make it a sport- can I do it and how fast?
