Hey Mike!

Its symptomatic of the last 18 months that I am a little late on this thread. I too am over my original infatuation with FF and I am in a contraction phase. Despite the suckiness of my team (for now) the CDL will be that last to go. I left my only re-draft league last year (despite winning it 2 yrs out of 3), it had gotten too much, was too difficult to do from over here and most importantly the atmosphere around the league had gotten way too intense.

My advice would be to pull back slowly to a level where you can be comfortable, my kids are 5 and 2 and I love them to death, but they ARE hard work and consume a lot of time (at least that's what my wife tells me j/k). What I would miss is not having a slightly more intellectual pursuit to think about while I'm reading Thomas the Tank Engine (its a UK thing) or watching Teletubbies.

Family is the number one priority and FF should come way down anybody's list but have along think about where you think the best long term balance is.

p.s. I'd come here even if I didn't have a team. Its one of the few online communities I've come across where mutual respect is maintained no matter what.

p.p.s That doesn't mean I don't think RL is talking out of his nether regions on the moral relativist thing.
