Ace,

I'm feeling you man. Try not being able to go to ANY scenarios that aren't same day driveable becuase you three kids at home under the age of 6!!!! That's why Command Decisions is my only real opportunity to do any 24-hour scenarios. So that means abot two per year. I've got a group of guys that I play with there but that's the only field I can manage for now that's not local. At least gas prices have come down. That's my only saving grace at this point. Hang in there man!!!

Well, if you have been to pbjunkie and seen the MPP schedule for next year you will notice that Red Fox Games here in G-ville is hosting not 1, but 2 games next year!!!! Yes they are 24 hour games and are 2 day events, but that does not mean that you cannot just hit one day with us Tarheel.
This will be a great way for us locals to show off our area and get some of our once in a while playing friends to get off their butts and make these games huge. I hope you can get there and bring lots of others with you.

Heck at that close you guys can drive, play, drive home, and go the next morning.

I'll be pitching a tent at somebodies house those games.

Well Lora must be doing well after surgery-- That's great.

While on the subject, I heard that Sahara had surgery on his back. I hope you're doing well Sahara--though I figure any back surgery has to be painful.

Get well soon you two--Need fewer bodies in the O. R. this year and more on the field.

Thanks Ace.....all is well. Didn't know Sarah had surgery. Anyone have news on him?

No I tried to call him and left a message but haven't heard anything back as of yet...

A turkey that acts like a cow... somehow familiar huh?
Everyone pm shrub with dates that are good and we will pick the one that suits the most peeps. I will be going down to La. after xmas but any other sat is fine. I cannot be sure that the weather will suffice, and that work will not be begging me to be there, they can bite me, work, not mother nature. You guys & gals are family and family is tops in my book.
So get your costumes, bring your paint & supplies, and lets have a hoe-down in my pasture, all are welcome, along with whoever has the low selfesteem to hang out with us losers. lol

Now I do need to say that my 20th anniversary is the 9th and we are planning to share one of our 3 times that weekend, soooo, if you feel an earthquake then you can relax, just me hanging from the ceiling fan & such,making my own suit out of whipped cream and chocolate sauce,ooohhh the visions I put in your heads cannot be scrubbed off with a sidegrinder and paint thinner.

Sorry, haven't logged on for a little bit due to hectic-ness with the holiday and travel (currently in boston).

still recovering from back injury?? yes Did I have surgery? fxxx NO.

I have no idea where the source of that rumor (aka chop) got that tale from. Some people really shouldn't endulge in the shrooms.

btw..heard there was a hell of a party at the charleston game... hate i missed it

Glad to see you are still up and running, so to speak. Why no surgery? Afraid of knives??? lol
Surprised noone has mentioned your award yet......Sexiest man alives #1 fan is something to be dang proud of!!! Bet thats why you went to Beantown, special tatoo to commemorate the award your main man got? Won't do those kind down here in the south on a man's private area, a law or something I think.
It was a good time even though we did not camp there, they were rocking it out fri. night as usual, just colder than crap.

Get yourself healed up and join us this coming year, we will be doing most of the MPP games (I think) since 3 are Bear Claw, 2 are Charleston and 2 new to Red Fox, right in some of our back yards. Get up here with the family, you can bunk with one of us I am sure.

Why no surgery? Let me tell you why. Historically back surgery has a success rate of about 15% where the person doesn't feel pain any more. Most of the time with back surgery about 10 years after you have the first you will need another as the disc above the one that you had removed will then go bad since it has to support the weight of two vertebrae. Then less then 10 years after that another, and so on.

The only way anyone should ever have back surgery is if there is no way they can function or remain alive without it. I'm sure the vast majority of human beings would be fired if they had a success rate of 15% BUT spinal surgeons aren't.
