Hi guys.

I work in the TV industry with LJ (Sandy to you guys), and we worked together this past week in Oregon.

He's the one that got me into SOM.

He wanted me to let you guys know that he's travelling today back to Austin and that just after he logged on this morning here in Oregon (after a looooong night celebrating the end of 6 weeks straight on the road last night) his hard drive crashed -- it happened to him in Torino earlier in the year too.

He won't get home until late tonight and will make his pick tomorrow morning on his wife's computer.

He just left on the 3 hour ride back to the Eugene Airport, from where we are here in the middle of nowhere, Oregon (Bandon).

He wanted me to apologize to you guys big time on his behalf.

Again, thanks jj!

Isn't it great to know we can rely on these things to whichwe commit so much of our energy, creativity, and, dare I say it, our memory? :twisted:

I feel your pain Sandy, and wish you well.

At least most of what you have for this league is posted on one of the threads here! :roll:

I am sure he is -- he gets caught up at work sometimes is all ...

Meanwhile, I am back up and running (on my wife's computer for now).

Fortunately -- it seems it is NOT the Hard Drive but rather the System Board (it is at the Notbook Repair depot now). My laptop IS almost 5 years old now and has served me well.

All my spreadsheets are always backed up on a portable Hard Drive I carry with me (after the incedent in Torino earlier this year when my Hard Drive DID fail I take no chances anymore).

Qk is up for two now and as soon as I get up to speed I will update all the appropriate lists with trades and such.

Thanks for y'all's patience and let's get this puppy done now.

I will go ahead and create the league today and let the East start filling at their leisure.

None of these remaining picks should prevent anyone from putting in a team since we have plenty of roster flexibility in creating a team.

I will post back here as soon as the league is created.

Sandy

PS Don't leave ME out of all this trading now, you hear! :roll: :P
