Like others on this thread have said, it does take a time commitment, aside from the remarks of friends and aquaintances who may think you are a geek.

I stop in on this site a good bit to see what's going on and check out the awesome work that some of you are doing. In hindsight, I regret not making the Columbus, Ohio tourney. It would have been a great fit for the flight($$) and my schedule. I still have not gotten out to a league or tournament, but, if not now, I can see myself active after retirement, which might not be far off. For now, though, I'm keeping my hand on the pulse and here and there building up some inventory for a large solitaire fantasy league.
