Fantasy Life

My Fantasy Football League draft is underway (after coming in 2nd last year in both my Yahoo Baseball and Football leagues, I feel poised to make a big splash this year).  With the 2nd to last position in a snake draft, I was able to nab Aaron Rodgers, then 2 picks later, Brandon Marshall.

I'm also hovering around 2nd place in my Baseball league.

December 2017
I don't recall, and won't bother to look up, how I actually finished up these seasons, but I know that I didn't win either league, because I don't think that i ever have (at least in the last many years). 

I do recall that this post was going to be a reflection on gaming - fantasy sports and fantasy rpgs.  I think there may have also been some attention paid to my childhood and my present moment, as i have begun to re-engage in both fantasy lives.  (Although, i think 2013/14 was my peak moment for fantasy sports, I have since returned to a perpetual basement dweller in both leagues*.  My 2013 baseball was half a point away from victory, and on the eve of the last day of play, i neglected to pick up a few extra starting pitchers, which had been my practice the last few weeks, and didn't move up in any of the pitcher categories).
