LOTO/GBBR Leagues

When I first signed up, I saw TRich in some of the leagues i was looking at. He used to play in LOTO Leagues way back in the early 2000's. But now I can't find him anywhere. Any luck with DJ, Jeep?

It would be great to get this rolling...Or at least drafted. I wish Cummings was still around. He was a hoot!

Oh, and how bout Bigmahon? Anybody know if he's still around? I know that Kav and Lee have been gone for awhile. But this is a great group. I hope the newcomer none of us know will be friendly and chatty. But I'll be the first one to welcome (Him, Her, Them - I can't tell by the name.) I'm guessing it's Paul abilodeau Jr. Definitely French, or Canadian and if born in 69, definitely old enough to play with this group. Or maybe graduated H.S. in 69', which would make him 2 yrs older than me.

oh well, just reaching for straws here. I believe Cubs48' lives in the Phoenix area. I had spoken with him before Strat took over from TSN - which seems like eons ago now. Jerlins had expressed interest, when I first announced I was returning - about a year ago.

It has been quite a grind getting back on my feet since 2013. Finally in a place of my own, have food, meds covered, stocked up on supplements, have a new laptop. Hopefully a vehicle of my own again within the next few weeks - Which will give me a helluva more job options. Cab business really slows down after Mother's Day. Its amazing all the things I had that I took for granted. I'ts just nice to get a normal night's sleep. Im just grateful to still be here. I'm a grandfather now.

My older daughter has been clean for 2 yrs, just passed her EMT exams and is a mom for 1 year. I'm hoping to spend some time back East in the tri state area during the summer. The past 20 yrs has just blown by. And now my joints creak, I can't remember anything, my skin 's dry and I'm deaf in one ear and can't hear outa the other one.

I think playing in the familiar League of Our Own with some old Buddies is gonna be good for my soul though.

Robt, haven't heard fro mDJ yet, but that's not unusual, he has a tight schedule.

TR came back about a year ago I think, after a long absense. He;s prob playing on a more limited basis but I'll try and track him down. If someone is in the Tour League w/him maybe they can shoot him a note.

Robrt, so glad things are going better for you. You have been in my thoughts and prayers even when I had not seen/heard from you in a while. Hope life continues to go well for you going forward.

Thanks Pal. It really means a lot to me. There were some occasions that were minute to minute. But I believe in god and have always prayed a lot - Whether things were tough or easy. But i still have a few good friends out there. And I'm pretty much a survivor. When my 2nd wife left it was like a punch I didn't see coming. And it took me awhile to figure out what I had done to cause something so drastic at such a vulnerable time. I didn't have any time to plan for it. And it took a toll physically. But time truly heals everything. For me, as long as I have a reason to get up in the morning, I'll face each day with my head up. I have 3 kids and a grandchild who I am anxious to meet soon.

So many things have turned around for the people i care about, that it has had a very positive affect on my road back. Many thanks for those thoughts and prayers. They are so very much appreciated . R

I haven't seen BigMahon around in quite a while.

One team that was in the LOTO this AM has pulled out so we now have 3 open spots.

I pinged luckyman, bigmahon, durantjerry, uncle ny and the splinter who are all playing the 2015 tour. Hopefully we'll get a few responses throughout the day. You know what, I'll ping qksilver and cristano too...

Thanks J. Any of those guys would be great. Hopefully, we'll get 3 and be off to the races.

I will jump in Wednesday morning. Two to go.
