End of Year Thoughts

I will be making some posts to close out the year and I thought I would break them into separate posts to make them more coherent and manageable. First of all...Fantasy Football. Although football season is over and some fantasy leagues still have playing time, ours concluded this past week. I came in #2 behind EG who was our "control" subject. After setting up her account and creating a super cute avatar, she never logged in again. In the automatic draft she was dealt a very solid team. She had the #1 kicker and very consistent players at the other positions. EG never shuffled players off the bench to cover bye weeks or players out for other reasons. Nevertheless, due to the consistency of her team in the aggregate, she won. As I mentioned in previous posts, I neither follow nor fully understand football. I worked hard on my team this season. I read expert reports, researched players, analyzed statistics, traded players, and moved people around. My rank was never lower than 4th, I was in 1st for several weeks, and I ended in 2nd. For my first attempt at Fantasy Football, I feel that I made an honorable showing. I will admit that I am much relieved that the season is over. On Saturday night I was out to dinner at Il Primo and on side-by-side televisions Shark Tale and the Cowboys were playing. I was watching football. Not good!
