It is finally here. The long-awaited fantasy football draft for the 2008 season is this Sunday. After last season, I have a little revenge I need to take care of, so it will be fun. Of course, this is just the first draft of many in the coming week, but this one is the most important. Usually this draft ends up being about a 400+ mile round trip just to spend a few hours picking football players, but things worked out perfectly and a friend from high school is getting married this weekend, and the wedding just happens to be pretty close to where our draft is held. So, I get to kill two birds with one stone.

In other news, I was also looking for a guest post or two for next week. I have a really busy schedule at work and rather than kill myself trying to get everything done myself, I figure this would be a good opportunity to let someone else fill one or two of the gaps. So, if you have an idea for a guest post, just contact me and we’ll see if it’s something that will work.
