The San Antonio Games were a hoot. James Parman is a slave driver but good man and Ed Cosner is an awesome man and a phenomenal AD, took care of us like crazy. And to boot, I get my picture in both the San Antonio and Austin newspapers! Hee, hee

Just got in, must rest for next weekend.

Charles, I had a blast down there last year. Parman and Cosner are great, and the athletes are a great bunch of guys, Baab and Speer, etc.

I will definitely try to make it next year.

Getting hounded by the papparrazi is the curse ofall the pretty highland gamers. you will get used to it. ;)

Hey Chuck, last week Cat said she couldn't wait to see uncle Charles. Tim got promoted to uncle too. With all these "uncles" I'm guessing dating will be rough.... lol, just how I like it!

Can't wait to get this show on the road and see you guys again. I need to make it back out to throw with you fellers some week.

Hey Eric, I look forward to seeing how much the little critter has grown too! Definitely OK to be one of her favorite Uncles. Imagine when she's dating, referring to us motley bunch as her "uncles". That would scare the bejeeberz out of me too!

Chuck - I just got a call from Obscure Sports Quarterly and OSQ is goinng to run a hatchet job on you right after the dodgeball finals. I warned them that they would end up stuck to a wall with a pitchfork and they promised me to tone it down a little. I explained they you are also really "green" and they relented and agreed to turn it into a puff piece on a canucker with an Irish accent coming to America and finding himself and a cultural outlet. I didn't explain that you were "green" because of that fungus infection.

When my next OSQ comes in I will let you copy it.

I tried to look it up but all that seems to exist is the caption now. No picture of my splendid beauty. *snicker*. The pic actually appeared in the San Antonio Express and then a copy of it was also in the Austin Statesman on Sunday. A friend in San Antonio is supposed to send me a copy of the San Antonio article. It's all good for Sh*ts and giggles ;-)
