I started in Nov. on the night before Thanksgiving and my last game is tonight. My wife just doesn't understand my sorrow. Someone please show me some sympathy.

Hi, My name is Willie....
and I am a refaholic.

"Hi Willie"

Ah, is there a 12-step program for this condition?

Fortunately, I have a few more games to "get my fix."

We could start a Whistles Anonymous group, and coming up with a 12-step is a no-brainer for me, as I teach how to translate 12-steps for NA and AA into American Sign Language!

20 games scheduled.... finally a lot of varsity and great partners....

Week between Christmas and New Years I re-herniated my surgically repaired back.

Worked 3 games last week after a month off.

Total for season: 7

Now that is short.

Short season for me. I'll wind up with about only 115 games. That's about 20-30 less than usual. A lot of rec games were canceled due to snow (very unusual for Oregon) and weren't rescheduled.

Twelve steps is how many Duke players are allowed without being whistled for travelling.

Agree. I will work the Special Olympics in late March, and a few AAU tournament games in May, and June, camp in May, but it's not the same as a steady diet of high school varsity games.

I start running again this weekend. My parsley has already sprouted in the basement, under lights. My tomato seeds get planted in two weeks, also, in the basement, under lights. I ordered several plants, and bulbs, that should arrive in early May. I was out in the garden today, trying to decide how many bags of composted manure to buy. Lawn looks good. Can't wait to get out there and get my hands dirty.

Is that what they call it in Connecticut now? Is it 4:20 yet?
Billy Mac has a "parsley" grow in his basement? That explains a few things.
