I've been in a fantasy baseball keeper league of 18 members for a number of years and am the youngest owner as I am in college. I got an email alerting me to a new friend request on facebook the other day. It was the commissioner of my league... he's 35... and all of his 20 or some odd friends are in their 30's as well and recent additions to facebook. I was pretty amused nonetheless.

Things are never quite as cool once your parents think it's cool. Another cool conference you get to attend, if you weren’t blogging I’d really be jealous.
