My latest whine made me realize that I'm not having as much fun in the league as I used to have, and because of that, I may not be as good an owner as I could, and it's possibly time for me to leave the league. My wife has recently taken a new job and a few evenings in the week, I'm all alone with both kids (16 months and 8 year old with homeworks and stuff) and it's a bit much for me at times I'm afraid (in fact tonight is one of those evenings). Most of you, probably all of you, have stuff to deal with in real life, I simply have a hard time coping with my life now, and I think it's better that I pull out now instead of whining about every little changes, like I've been doing lately.

Guys, it's been fun. I put the Dragons into an almost salary cap hell, brought them back, now somebody else will get to try and do something out of them.

Finally, Grid, I wish you had not taken my comment in such a personal way as they were never a questioning of your commitment to the league, and I appreciate you sending me that PM, but it's not your response to my post that caused me to leave. I was seriously thinking about it earlier, as I saw everybody posting that they had no problem with the schedule change, yet it upset me quite a bit (more than it should have I think). Maybe it's because I'm a bit fragile to outside events right now :) You do good work, the league is lucky to have you, and Taco, and GoldenEagle... In fact, the league is a good group of people. Someday I'll get a shirt, if only to say I was part of that group not once but twice. :)

Good luck guys, play fair :)

See ya around.
FM

I am sad to see you go, FM. I understand your situation and I know we have all been there before. Good luck!

Sorry to lose you again, Steve... here's hoping you'll find some spare time later to join us a third time.

I'm really sorry that you are leaving, but I understand.

Personally, I hope you are able to return some day when things settle down in your non-FOF life.

I know we don't have an official waiting list, but I know Joe wanted back in the league.

Should we contact him ?

If FM's decision is to leave, I think we should be replace him asap, in interest of the Dragons and the League.

I think Taco has some sort of waiting list. He said in chat and on this board, that Joe is at the top of the list...

Sorry to see you go, FM. It's been fun having you in the league. If you get time every once in awhile check in with us and check on your Dragons.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, very much appreciated.

I will be coming back every once in a while, making sure Joe doesn't do worse than I did with the Dragons :D
