Yes, doghead you have my sympathy!! Most of my games are after school, not in the evening, so I put the liitle one down for a nap, prepare dinner for the babysitter to serve, double check arrangements for my school age one, check my bag, dress down, greet the sitter and hope to get out before the little one awakens!

In the car it's Paul Simon's Graceland cassette. For a good mood, and an active pace, nothing works better for me. But the best preparation is the first game. I always do better on the second and third games. What I'll do when I'm getting varsity games, I'm not sure since our assignor won't give varsity games in combination with anything else. Guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it!!
