Just wanted to say thank you to my trade partners and potential trade partners for their patience with me. As some may know, I was involved in a car accident that resulted in what has been called a Catastrophic neurological injury. I’m in therapy twice a week and on 9 different medications to help cope. One of the challenges is that I don’t have the same ability to adjust to ‘moving parts’. Ie: if I try to wash dishes and make a coffee, I will flood the sink. I’m not allowed to cook for this reason. I can’t drive anymore. I have a hell of a time with appointment changes and here within the GHL , which I love because it forces me to think; I struggle to keep track of my assets like picks and players coming and going. I don’t say any of this for sympathy— we all have our own challenges and this is a place where I get to exercise my brain— I just want to thank you guys for your patience and assure you that I am actually doing my best when negotiating. I really enjoy being part of this community of puck heads and the challenge of trying to organize my thoughts. Cheers boys

As someone whose dad has a traumatic brain injury (amongst other things too), and would absolutely be apart of this league if he was able as he loved doing fantasy sports and stuff like this, I'm glad you're able to still do this with us. It's enjoyable having you in the league and glad to be apart of something that allows you to exercise your brain and gives you joy.

Owen and I have talked about this in the past and I definitely appreciate the effort he is willing to put into trade talks. Occasionally I have had to remind him of assets he may not own (previously traded, etc) but I'm not even sure that is a result of the affects of his accident because I get confused at this time of year when the trade window opens and there are 7-10 years announced by teams with the same asset sometimes moving among more than one team and the league hasn't officially put the trades through yet. Regardless, Owen is always eager and willing to talk even when an agreement can not be made, he is willing to work through different scenarios, which shows his dedication to the process. Always enjoy talks with him. Furthermore, if you are so inclined, read some his work, if you are not aware of his writings, I'm sure he'd be willing to point you in the right direction. Interesting stuff.
