So beyond throwing our own tournament, I'm assuming everyone is cool with me
allowing this guy from the Visitors Bureau to go ahead with the UPA
championship. I'm going to call him today and tell him to go ahead and that
he will have our help where he needs it. But as far as the set up and
fields and stuff it sounds like hes going to be doing alot of it. We will
see. Anyways, I just wanted to inform everyone that I am telling him we are
in. For the Cornfed Tournament, I would rather not do it on a game weekend.
Fall seems very packed with stuff, but if we can figure out a good date it
could work. And in closing, I say to you ... Poop! Oh and ten bucks says
that even though my ankle is broken I'm still faster than Dave. Peace out!

Oh, and P.S. Dave ... what is this about Sheila having the balls to keep up
the Cornfed party tradition? Pardon me, but I believe myself and the other
members of the Power House threw a pretty bitchin party ... and there will
be more to come. I will keep you posted. LATER!
