The interesting thing about this incident is that I broke the basic rule about talking to this coach after I gave the T. He asked, "What did I do to get a T?" I said, "Coach, if you're in control of your self, you know what you said. If you're not in control, you'd better give yourself a little break." He said, "Oh, I know what I said..." I interrupted, "Good, then we understand each other." Somehow, this worked. He was polite and respectful the rest of the game, and as I said before, told me I did a good job.

I felt in control of the game, and of myself, and the T made the game better, and it just worked. Hmm... Now if I can just carry this skill through until next Feb 15...
Juulie, as I said this is obviously your limit. It felt
good, the coach knew it felt good, it IMPROVED THE GAME.
You done good.
