It may be insignificant to you, but let me tell you - I feel like a freaking giant when I stand next to Chuck!!

Well, I won't be back much if at all. I got tired of the unwillingness of many (by no means all) to have civil disagreements. I got tired of being called names. And I don't see any reason to subject myself to the possibility of more abuse.

Do I miss it? Well, yea, a little, sometimes. But then I check in and see the same tired old jokes and the same OT stuff, and I just e-mail the personal friends, and skip the rest.

It's too bad, but, oh well. Life goes on.

Juulie, it's great to see you here, even if it's just once in a while. I hope you keep showing up from time to time.

I know who esteemed members are, but who are the baboons?

Once I start thinking about basketball, I'll be back. That will occur about 2 days after my last HS football game.

My pattern is as follows: Football from July through late October / early November, basketball from mid-November until March, baseball from late March until August. This is the first year there was no overlap whatsoever in my sports.

I am doing a weekend clinic in early November, but unless we go 3 weeks deep in the football playoffs, it won't conflict. And if it does, the clinic would go before the football game.
