Ah, yes - even the simple topics don't phase MTD, Sr. :p

Gee, would you be referring to the fact that, when asked to name ONE person that he'd like to have dinner with, he named <b>SIXTEEN</b>? :D

Verbosity... for better or for worsery!

Why didn't he just post a link to the phone book?

A. Not involving basletball = spending 2 weeks with my son in Olympia, WA.

B. Involved in now = putting things away in our new house so I will have time to do "A" above.

C. My mother

Answers:

A - I want to continue getting rid of old crap that I don't need any more. It's amazing how much stuff one collects over time.

B - HS Softball. Just finished a weekend tournament earlier today.

C - Hmm. I wouldn't mind dining with Isiah Thomas. When he played for the pistons, he did a lot for Kids, and I think that's why I looked up to him as a positive sports model. (Oddly enough, I actually had the chance to have a verbal disagreement with him once at a tournament -- over the initial setting of the possession arrow)
