Re: What else do you do??? Why write dynasties?

I'll go first.

I am 29 and married with two kids, a 3-year old son and a 5 month old daughter. I work as a nurses aid for three days a week (one 8 hour shift and two 16 hour shifts in a row ). I will be going back to school to finish my 2-year degree this summer and will be applying to nursing school next year.

I spend most of my time with the family and do my gaming at night when everyone is in bed.

I also just joined a band. I've played guitar for 21 years.

I write these dynasties as a way to add to the enjoyment of playing sports games. I do it for myself first, and everyone else second. As long as I'm having fun, I don't care who else reads em...

but I also really enjoy the comments.

Ok...done...who's next?

I am single and 49 years old, turning 50 the day after halloween.

I am a data center specialist for a HMO and work Thursday thru Saturday 6PM to 6AM plus every other Wednesday 6PM to 6AM Eastern Time in the U.S.A.

I bowl duckpins (a short squatty looking version of a tenpin) on Sunday thru Tuesday nights and every other Wednesday. I am also a member of the Professional Duckpin Bowlers Association.

I do it for the same reasons that you do and I also enjoy reading and/answering any comments or questions in my threads. My game postings try to give the reader an impression that they have a seat at the sporting venue as I provide play-by-play or blow-by-blow, if it is a wrestling thread. I also try to provide those "stats heads" with the most detailed stats package that I can. It may be a little more work than most people but it is a labor of love.
