All you guys have it made. We still have two feet of snow on the ground and are supposed to start our high school season on the 24th. Not looking too good for that date. We try to squeeze our season into 4 weeks before the school year is over. Will probably get a week or so late start and have many more games crammed together.

Ed,

Few years ago, we had a team from Alaska come to the 18U AFA
Nationals. They lasted two days in the heat. The umpires all
sorta adopted the team. We had them over to our compound and
feed them a couple of first class meals. They love watermelon
and gumbo. Everyone at the tournament, 121 teams, enjoyed their
participation. They tried hard, but the heat got to them. They
were from Anchorage, Alaska Lady Bears, Manager: Sam Senner.
