pre-season blues

Hopefully, if weather permits, there'll be
another outing this coming weekend. The players who
showed up last time, the will, Louis the Rake, Clowny
Jack, Kid Haskett, and Chente all performed well.
There's more players out there who'll be previewed and
showcased here in all their glory. John--do you know when
you'll be flying out? Lemme know when you get a chance.
