Okay, okay. But you have to admit, the topic could use a bit of lightening up. Think of Mark and I as the comic relief

Honestly, I was thinking the same thing. You'd think we were negotiating a Middle East peace plan or something.

It's going to get better. When there's more basketball stuff to talk about, we'll talk more basketball and less jokes. As I said, we have this conversation every summer, and then we forget that we had it.

Peace
Rut:

Some MS leagues here in that mitten-shaped state still play girls basketball in the fall. The other day, we played our in-district rival and it felt liek a CYO reunion as 3 or 4 of the other team's players were ones I saw the previous winter playing 6th grade CYO basketball for opposing teams.

Prior to our league's merger with the adjoining league, there was a brainstorm to swap all our fall MS sports with spring sports. But I don't think that will be happening now.

Welcome back. I thought this thread may have scared you a little bit. I kept thinking, "How this will effect Mark Padgett's posts?". I guess, from this post, not at all. How about an image for old time's sake?

No wonder. You live in Northern Virginia, probably a stone's throw from Washington, D.C. You're used to differing points of view. You probably have to close your windows in the summer, to get some peace, and quiet, from those differing points of view.

Yes, I do live near the seat(s) of all power and knowledge (such that it is) and am not opposed to listening to other points of view (as long as they are well thought out and not written above my pay grade - I did go to public/state schools ya know).

Recovering image postaholic seeks enabler to provide a vicarious fix.

Be strong, BillyMac. You can get through this. Perhaps if you printed a random image and taped it to your upper arm, it might work as a kind of a "patch" for posting images.

Perhaps if he just stopped posting the "imagine an image here" sentence at the end of every one of his posts, it would help.

Hint. Hint.
