  Except for a very small following of fellow players, I believe this post suffers from a serious case of LOI (lack of interest). Unless otherwise convinced, I believe the space could be better served with something else. Consequently, I shall do the last of it tomorrow 1-31-14

  Best wishes to your father, SP!  It looks like it will be a bit windy in the Coachella Valley this weekend (since it's cloudy here), although Indian Wells doesn't catch the wind as much as Indio and Rancho Mirage!  Have fun this weekend!

  91 years ago, Norman Mailer took his first breath as well ... much later he would write a book I was forced to read by my 11th grade English teacher.  The Fight proved to be a great book, and Mr. Mailer did a great job with the 1974 Ali/Foreman fight.

  I'll try to get in a few tidbits this weekend, SP.  I'm going to the fake snow of Mt. High this weekend!  My first "snowboarding" event for 2014!
