I am involved in this fantasy football league with Planty, Bev, Gary, this guy Cal, Chris, Richard and Lise and I am the only American in the group which makes for some good jabs from the Brits. I am in fifth place and ahead of Chris, Lise and Richard which makes me happy. I don’t care if I win but I do want to be ahead of Gary and Planty, but that will take some sort of miracle. Gary is like a walking encyclopedia of sport and knows every little nuance. Planty is just downright obsessed and I must beat him. Must. It’s a laugh and something for us all to banter about on e-mail and at our stammtisch which Planty organizes.
