Matt, nice memory! I was too busy with hockey and didn't field a team 'till about mid-May. I finished about 5K-something, which wasn't bad, I 'spose. This year I started off decent, but have tried my best to kill my teams in the last 3 weeks ( by "over-trading", what else! ). How're you doin' this year?

Chinese Canadian living in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
And guess what? I'm proudly Canadian.
I love Canada so much that I don't even want to go back to where I came from.
Wish I was born here............ maybe I could be "THE Left Wing" in the NHL instead of just one of those wannabes on a public hockey court.
But hey, I'm proudly bilingual, too. It's so good to have two fluent languages at my disposal.

Well,
Really didn't think this thread would take off like it did since the first 4 post announced the Forum Registry link... But I can say it's been very interesting to see all the places represented... I guess my biggest surprise is all the Canadian's, I guess I didn't think baseball was that popular up there...
In the past, i've played a lot of RPG's and MMRPG's and they have had annual gatherins... Is this something the Gurufamily should look into? I would say a Superbowl party, but traveling in winter isn't advisable... Maybe 2002 Allstar game or anytime of the year...
Of course, computers would have to be assesible... Which in the RPG gatheringss they have had them...
Any interest?

I am from Lancaster PA, I was born in Lancaster City, then moved to Maytown, PA when I was 2, NOw I reside in Marietta PA which is 1 mile from Maytown, I still say Maytown Cause people in Marietta are "River Rats" Currently I am going to school at Shippensburg University in PA. I'm only here for another 22 days though then is back home, maybe to Harrisburg.
bluehen, where in Lancaster are you from, and do you come back at all.
APerfect10, I know where Willow Street is, about 25 minutes from me. I remember playing them in PeeWee football 10 years ago, and kicking some ACE. Both my parents graduated from McCaskey and I have 2 Cousins who go there now, although I graduated from Donegal as will my brother.

Mike, Buchmiller park is right on willow street pike between Lancaster City & Willow Street. It is less than a 5 minute drive from my place.
Matt, Donegal, eh? What year did you graduate. Me and Ike are friends with Jay DeSheilds, from playing basketball with/against him in high school.
I'm currently at State College, wrapping up my Junior year. I will be home in less than two weeks. If either of you two would like to meet sometime and maybe go out for a couple beers, that would be cool.
I know Blue Hen will visit Lancaster some day again, as soon as he can leave that company, whats it called? Oh yeah, ESPN.

I think I have posted in a couple other Forums indicating I live in LaSalle. No one ever posts back that they even live in any of North Central IL. I started to feel like the Italians and Swedes had more gurupies than all of IL. I guess I forgot to post the info in the Politics Forum. And I thought you had indicated you were in Wisconsin.
I live on the east end of LaSalle, so you are probably more like 2 miles away. :)
