beginnings...and fantasy sports

Hello and welcome all!

I have been inspired by my friend Kieran to start my own blog. I am not certain that I will post here on the same level of frequency or thoroughness, but what the hey...it looks like fun anyway. I hope those of you who stumble across this will enjoy my random expressions and meanderings.

To start off, I want to share with you all how excited I was to witness the sheer dominance of my fantasy football team. First place in week 1! I realize I'll probably live to regret those words in the long run, but I have to enjoy it while I can. Especially after my disastrous fantasy baseball season this year. (Oy...the pain.)

I wouldn't say that I'm a typical fantasy sports person. First off, I'm a chick. Not that chicks shouldn't be into fantasy sports, but it's clearly a hobby dominated by men. Secondly, I actually was not as active a sports fan before getting involved with fantasy baseball and football. Having to keep on top of player situations has made me become a much more knowledgeable fan overall. A friend of mine at work told me that he talks sports with me more than anyone else at work. Considering I'm an engineer and I work with a lot of men, I was quite surprised. And flattered, I must say.

welcome to blogging! Nice one to boot. I'll keep an eye on it. I have one at www.bubblegoose.blogspot.com It has had better days of better posts, but it is what it is. Good luck with your fantasy teams!

Hi Carl!

Forgive me for taking a while to post back, but I really wasn't expecting anyone to find my blog the same night that I started it. Thanks for the words of encouragement, and please let me know what you think as it progresses. I'll be sure to check yours out as well.
