Thank you for the new update regarding the Freemans in your rec league, EC. Still hoping others around here also decide to suggest lists of historical players to base certain teams' players on soon for the relevant dynasty or dynasties' leagues, though. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make much, if any, real progress as will ultimately be needed here with this particular idea of late, it seems, for various reasons.

EC, I really do hope your IPA situation gets resolved soon for everyone's benefit, and especially yours, in a sufficiently positive way here, for sure. I've followed it for quite some time now, of course, you know.

I also can't wait to see if 20_range will do more for Stratford's Playwrights, especially seeing as I normally only use the classic skin when I play OOTP, not the dark skin like many do around here. So light borders don't always show up well on that skin, I think, for me whenever I use various logos in my games. Colored borders often work and look much better for me in my games, as a result of that normally being the case for me here.

As far as personal matters, I'm still stuck on a certain number of projects, both writing-related and graphics-related in nature, at least. Certain other important matters have to be settled sufficiently well before too much more time passes for me and certain others in my family, as well, most definitely. And Dad is quite unlikely to ever live with us again easily enough, the way he is now, unless God heals his current Alzheimer's-related situation first, and certain other things happen for us all in the near future.

Mother is okay for the moment, more or less, given our current circumstances, being a bit younger than Dad, but she certainly has her own health issues as well, of course. She'll definitely need at least one operation in the near future, if not more than one, it seems. Although I don't know just yet when such an operation or operations will need to be done, to be sure. Please pray for her and me and the rest of my family as you like and can, EC. I really hope she can live at least another few years before she leaves this world behind, obviously, just as I do for Dad, who's roughly three years older than she is now, in truth.

It's tough watching your parents age, for sure, and knowing that they may not actually have a good deal more time left that you can spend with them in your life, especially as you get older yourself. It's been hard to not be able to see Dad every day now, but neither Mom nor I have the necessary medical knowledge and the experience and the ability to be able to take care of him as needed 24/7. So it's best for all concerned parties here that he is somewhere that he can definitely get the care that he actually needs when he needs it and all, you know.

I hope this update about certain matters isn't going to get me into any real trouble here, in certain ways, of course. I hope TC_Dale won't mind such commentary too much here at least every once in a while, too, for sure.

I'll try to get back to creating at least a few more OOTP-related graphics-type items here for the forums soon, if and when I can be sufficiently inspired and all to create such items easily enough and all. But that probably won't happen for at least a little while yet, I think, unfortunately, folks. Just so you all know this here well enough. CD out.

P.S. Any and all prayers for me and my family's good health and for all other sufficiently-related matters to me and/or mine here will certainly be quite appreciated by me, at least, if not others as well, I'm quite sure, of course, folks. EC and jg2977, at least, please feel free to PM me at any time, if and when you like and can, okay? Thank you. CD out.
