So I sit down, turn on the radio to the Cub game and open everything to work on this dynasty. And it's just not there. No enthusiasm, no spark. Nothing. If I was working on Fort Lauderdale or Houston, I might chalk that up to the need to trudge thru the bottom feeders; but I was working on New York. MY TEAM. And there was nothing there to hold me. And while I'm doing all the writing and rolling needed to get everything in order, I just kept looking at that sheet of "off season" notes I wrote on break at work today for "Prologue." Thinking about how I need to work thru the DB to get it ready for the next round of seasons. Thinking about how the players in this dynasty are just names and stat lines. While I've actually made some characters who have life in the other.

So, I need to go thru 3rd&4th and change some of the P's from MR to SP, because most of the top starters imported as MR and I'd hate to see Paul Toth get sent to the pen, and I'll sim out the season sometime this week.

I just didn't think the thrill would be drained so quickly and so completely.


what was this import for, anyway? doesn't really matter, but hell. probably a post i missed along the way.

can't say i blame you though. you said it better than i could, and why trudge through something you don't want to? your dedication to this league was unmatched and unwavering. but i can already tell that you're cultivating something great in your new league. i'll have to get caught back up when i'm not so drained; luckily there is the time for that!

i've enjoyed reading. i'll really, really miss this thread, but i'm glad that you'll still be around here and doing something you enjoy more. most people could only hope to match that.
