This weekend I worked a 'showcase' that was 'ASA' but free subs in pool play and only 8 after 5 as run rule. Rune rule didn't come into effect, but you should have seen the confusion on coach's faces when I didn't want to write down the changes on the lineups I didn't take at the pregame.

To be the first to take a thread off subject, found a great Microbrewery in Raleigh, but man it was hidden!!

I think if we drank enough of that microbrew we might have just let them do whatever in every game... haha

Sorry, Rant off.

At another clinic we had an IRS lady.. and I'd say her Q&A generated the most interest of the whole thing.

Last time I checked my bankroll,
It was gettin' thin
Sometimes it seems like the bottom
Is the only place I've been
I Chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen

But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun
