Fantasy 08

Fantasy leagues. I've enjoyed a few NBA fantasy seasons and I believe I have done one MLB season. I faired well in all of them but I was left frustrated that though I made what I thought were wise transactions, and most were given my purchases and trades improved the value of my team, I stood in the middle of the pack by seasons end.

As some of you know I check into some political blogs to keep myself informed of the 'news'. I saw an interesting post that lead me to RealClearPolitics' play-money '08 market powered by Intrade. Wow! How fun is this! Register and try it out. Talk about a cool fantasy 'league'.

GOP Senate in 08, a contract/stock that seems to be doing well for me at the moment.

Update: GOP Senate contract is down. Darn Dems.

Cool - I'll have to check it out!

I have been listening to a lot of political commentary myself. There's quite a bit going on!

I've spent a little time on the website. I admit it's a little confusing - I've never done a fantasy football/baseball/crochet team/thing. But if anything could get me into it, it would be a political-type of fantasy team/thing. (I'm using a lot of forward/back-slash things).

Have you seen the picture of you working the milk frother on my blog? Oh, what great times we have camping with your wife and my wife. Sometime we'll have to do "guys camping" weekend and make the girls ascribe to the "you pack it in, you pack it out" philosophy. Having lived in the woods for over a week straight, I can say with an air of sophiticated wisdom and experience that pinecones work wonderfully. You don't have to pack them out.
