Sometimes a Fantasy, is Allllll ya need......

It's Labor Day weekend, summer is winding down, fall is winding up and the fun continues!  With three girls under the age of five all anxious to get back to dance class, the oldest anxious to start pre-school, and the twins looking forward to dance class (yep, it's all about balway - aka ballet), I figured that I should have something to fill my time.  I mean, really, while Mare is busy running around with the girls, keeping up with the housework, walking the dogs, cleaning the bird cages, taking time for her own sanity and making my lunch, there's GOT to be something for me to busy myself with.
(FREEZE.....don't smack me or make that tsk-tsk sound....keep reading......)
So, of course I do have my day job to go to.  That's fun and time consuming.  Then there's Karate and fitness fun time - fun, healthy, simply a way of life.  There's house-cleaning, bird cage cleaning, dog walking, playtime with the kiddies, conversation and camaraderie with my wife, and simply taking time to enjoy this Beautiful Journey of Life.  BUT, since that's all child's play, I decided that I should get off my butt and take part in a FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE!!!!!
OH YEAH!!!  Look out Chambursburg Alum's, MY TEAM IS GONNA ROCK!!!!
The Draft is Sunday and the trash talk is already humming!
As I washed the dishes this evening, I went through my draft choices in my head.  First player that came to mind......William "The Refrigerator" Perry.  oops.  ok, not gonna work.  Next:  Joe Theismann....ok....Joe Nameth?  ummm.....ooohh, I got it....Emmitt Smith....er......I then realized that I have absolutely NO idea who plays where, does what with whom, why or when.
I consider myself an athlete, both past and present.  I love athletic things, I even enjoy watching football and root for the Brooklyn Dodgers any chance I get!  (*wink*)  But what am I thinking?
No worries, I'll keep talking trash and convince everyone of my stellar statistical mind, but the reality is that any "good" draft choice or game winning line-up that I post will be born purely out of intuition and luck.
Hopefully I will get home from work in time to meditate and clear my Third Eye Chakra before the draft!
(geeeez, I hope none of my fellow league mates read this - don't want to let the cat out of the bag on this one!)
