I will be out of town from March 27 through April 2.
 
I can draft on April 3, 4, 10 or 11.

Gents:
 
  With the conclusion of the football season last weekend, it is time to start planning for USML 2004 -- the 16th season of our storied league.  Sadly, this season will mark the beginning of the post-Riptorns era.  O a more positive note, though, this will give us a chance to reinvigorate the league with some new blood.  
 
  Three items need to be addressed immediately.
 
1.  Draft Day:  This may be a more thorny problem than in past years.  The season starts on March 31, so the ideal draft day is Saturday, April 3, 2004.  However, April 5 is Passover, and if anyone is planning to go out of town, that could be a problem.  April 4 is a possibility, but in my mind, too close to Passover for marital comfort.  The weekend of April 10 is also possible, but April 11 is Easter.  Please e-mail me right away with your availability on all of those dates.
 
2.  New owners:  Various persons have suggested possible new owners.  We need to get one or more people on board right away.  I have received several strong endorsements for one of the Brats' friends who goes by the Kramer-like name of Buddha.  The problem is that he cannot draft on the weekend of April 3.  In any event, we really need to resolve this issue asap, and probably before issue 1.
 
3.  Retention rosters:  We will need to set a roster freeze date, but before people set their rosters, we will really need to know how many owners there will be because it affects the number of players that will ultimately be on each roster.  Again, this requires us to address issue number 2 right away.
 
  Lets begin an e-mail string this weekend to start addressing all of these issues.
