Living in a Fantasy World

The twins and their teammates are playing Fantasy Hockey.  Dane set up the league, and he only invited players from the '98 team.  I wasn't sure about it at first, but I can see how that makes it more of a team-building activity. (And I love that they are not interested in girls nearly as much as this league!) Tonight was the draft, and it was SERIOUS. The computer ranks all NHL players and each boy had 2 minutes to make his selection. They felt as high as real team owners as they tried to anticipate which good players would be available each round. Plus they could open chat the whole while. Polar Bear kept texting, "Go Caleb" so it would move along faster. Winger got a couple of players who are injured and he didn't know it. Lucas wasn't home, so the computer automatically picked for him, but he got Sidney Crosby who is still out with a concussion. The first games are this weekend, and they will receive points for how well their players do in real life. FUN!
