    I am going to training now as well. Back at 9:30 PST. After that I'll make my pick. Then I will email a proxy guy for my picks tomorrow while I am traveling.

    I might as well go to bed.

    Not going to stay up until 12:30. I will check in during my nightly loo visits and make my pick so that Dear_Claudio can pick first thing in the morning. And if Mark does as well and Claudio again, maybe we'll send the draft back to ThiKu's proxy in the AM tomorrow.

    I am going to the Phillies game tomorrow night. Will have my iPhone, will do my best to draft with that. I will write up some proxys before I go just in case.

    Pulling in driveway now. Can't wait to get on an actual computer for the rest of this.

    I'll be around until I fall asleep, probably until 2am or 3am Eastern.

    Tomorrow I have a pretty heavy day at work - but will be checking as much as possible and checking my phone. Text messages work best in case I'm in meetings

    Made my pick fella's. Sent proxies to Hal with plenty of alternative selections. Will check-in via iPhone tomorrow night, probably 6-9pm eastern time or some such. Am around on the 9th. And will use proxies on the 10th and 11th almost certainly - moreso on the 11th.

    If you pick during the night, Hal, feel free to give me a call no matter the hour. Even if I don't manage to answer it will almost definitely wake me (or the woman). I'll be up watching the Olympics for awhile longer.

    My schedule tomorrow: work 9am to 3pm ET (one break, probably between 1pm and 2pm; sporadic phone access). Then I work my second job from 8pm to 2am, but I have much more freedom to use my phone during my night job.

    I am off and free all day on Thursday:eek::cool:

    Despite your outstanding advice I went with two top defenders and blew my wad! :)

    Google doc updated -- again, let me know if any errors on either the picks sheet or the roster sheet. Both are updated.

    Thanks, still researching for an app or way to easily change GoogleDocs on iPad.

    Ahem,
    Didn't see a Cashley Cole in the database, so I took a big leap of faith that you meant to draft Ashley Cole. That's why I corrected the spelling in the draft spreadsheets.
    Still, Cashley Cole made me smile.

    In about an hour -- maybe sooner I am gonna be offline for a couple of hours. Depends when my tour group shows up -- giving a museum tour today.

    At least I don't have to make a draft pick during my wife's labour (this did happen two years ago!)

    Still my favorite BigSoccer moment ever. Whenever my wife says I am addicted to football, I mention you to save my SS.

    My parents insist my son needs more toys and clothes. He doesn't but she's making me go to the store anyway. I may be MIA for a few hours. If someone (Hal) can call or text, I'd appreciate it.

    Home from work. Free for the next four hours, then back to work for the night.

    Thanks to kopite/Mark for making my last pick via text. I had at least five or six defenders running through my mind from the last time I looked at my board. I have no idea why "Skrtel" was the name that my fingers typed in:unsure:

    No problem. I am here for another 30 minutes and then a 35 minute commute. Check in again. Until 6pm when I am out to watch the cup final ... my 12th cup final I have seen live dating back to 1981 and Liverpool v West Ham.

    Thanks, was in the middle of some important work stuff (even though I am off) when my turn came up. Many thanks for formatting it.

    Leaving for the Phillies game within the hour. Should be able to make picks, I created a note on my iPhone with a list of players I want.

    Is there anyone else in this league who isn't an old fart?:p

    Updated the googledocs, including a couple of spelling mistakes and team code errors.
