Fantasy Football Draft

On Tuesday night (9/2/08), I went where I've never gone before; I became a fantasy football team co-owner and participated in a live draft.
This must be the year of "firsts" for me or something. (See my Renaissance Faire post.) Another thing I've contemplated but never chose to take the time to do is to own a fantasy football team. This year is a bit different. My daughter and family (including my 3 grandkids!) recently moved to Pennsylvania from Colorado. My son-in-law is even more of a football fan than am I, and he's a "major league" fantasy football fan.
He and I had the opportunity to co-own a team this year in our neighborhood's league. These are the guys that I've spent lots of time with over the years as part of our neighborhood pool league and other stuff. I've been fortunate to make friends and stay connected to a bunch of guys who are not part of our church community.
As leaders in the church we are especially required to make and foster friendships with people outside the church. The best way to do this, of course, is through doing stuff that we like to do. I love to shoot pool (and am pretty good at it), and I love NFL football. Now I'm part of our neighborhood's fantasy football league.
We'll see if I'm any good at it!
