Dear friends and friendly adversaries,

Some of you are aware that I encountered some health difficulties this year, the most significant of which was the partial loss of vision in one of my eyes. I'm sorry to say that the situation is getting worse for me, and sadly I feel that I must give up this digital game that I have played and loved for over 20 years. It's simply too difficult for me to manage, and I've let many of you in my numerous keeper leagues down too much already. I thought my eyesight would improve, but it hasn't.

I wish you all nothing but the best in all that you do. Enjoy life, enjoy this game and enjoy each other. I'll miss you all.

Don't know that I've come up against you, Chris, but I'm sad we are losing a dedicated member of the tribe. Best wishes to you going forward.

Dear Chris,
I don’t believe that I ever was one of your friendly adversaries, but I wish I had been your digital friend. I hope you find a new hobby to enjoy. Life is to be lived. Cheers, Marcos (elpasopesos).

Chris,
Sorry to hear about your vision problems. That sucks. I've enjoyed playing with you over the years in the Horace Mann Invitational annual leagues and other leagues.
Best of luck, my friend.

772 teams says you've done your time, a good run indeed! Enjoyed our stint in the TSL league.

Take care,
