Default coming back

Hello everyone. I am sure the vast majority of you have no idea who I am, but I am a fan of miniature football from birth it feels like. I feel out of the hobby after childhood, but rediscovered it through the Net about a year or so ago.
I started customizing figures with the help and advice of some great people on here like Decal Master, RaierMike, and Reggie Rutledge. Had a blast, made some good stuff.
I found a league in Baltimore (where I live) and met some great guys. Ed, Will, Darrian, Smitty, Adrian, Sean, just to name a few...Truly great guys.
But, then I had an unfortunate incident at a league game. Really bothered me. In fact, it ended my season there. Actually, it ended miniature football for me. I put my Browns in a box, sealed things up, and walked away.

Now, I have decided I need to get back involved. I love this hobby. Furthermore, I can't let one bad experience ruin the hobby for me.

My grandmother who raised me just passed away this week and I began reflecting on the things I care about in life and things I still want to do. All the silly times I have misse dout on things for various reasons and can never get back. Miniature football is one of those things I want back in my life. I have seen it at it's best, fellowship, comradre, genuine care for your fellow man, and some serious fun. I have also now seen the worst, as in winning at all costs, cheating and physical threats over a game. In all, I think it is worth reclaiming. Warts and all, I love the hobby.

I am coming back.

I am reclaiming my hobby.

I hope to talk to you all again soon.

Have to levae for Cleveland for a funneral, but when I return, I plan to pursue my hobby again.

Just felt like I should express this.
