By the way

does anyone want me to give live updates today like I’ve been doing? It doesn’t matter either way to me, I’d just been doing it because I figured people were at work and couldn’t watch. But alas, it’s Saturday, and most people are off today. Let me know before the start of the game, so I can get my scoresheet printed.

by CPC on May 23, 2009 2:11 PM CDT reply actions  

well...if you honestly don't mind...

…I’ll be working on house stuff most of the time and just randomly checking in, and it’s fun to read down the thread…
