  1. As many if you know, my wife was diagnosed with Nodular Melanoma about a year ago. She has had 2 surgeries, a skin graft that made her stay off of her feet for 3 weeks so it would take hold, confirmation that it had spread, a lymphedectamy, 3 weeks of tubes, a week stay in the hospital due to an infection that caused cellulitis and 8 months of Interfuron treatment w 4 more to go.

     

    The same day that she was diagnosed was the final cuts of our boys' 6th grade bball team. To add more poop to a poopie day, one twin was cut. On top of that they had played one on one in the tryout and the winning twin made the team so both were devastated. One or not making it and the other for thinking that he eliminated his brother. With all that in mind I was pretty emotional and kind of ticked at the coach for facing twins off like that. His explanation was very sincere and I agreed with it. He never would have faced them off if both were forwards or centers, but since they played different positions he felt like it was ok and would bring the best out of both of them. Sound logic in my mind and I had no complaints. He said something very special that day after our conversation that kind of made me take a step back with the craziness going on. He said that he had never experienced such an emotional cut. The one who made it didn't want to join the team without his brother. He knew then that these boys were raised with a lot of love. That made me feel great bc it kind of reaffirmed that we as a family were going to be ok as my wife battled.

     

    Fast forward one year, both made a very high level soccer team and now both made the 7th grade bball. My wife can see the light at the end of the tunnel of her treatments and the scans are clear. We are so very blessed and I had to share it bc it is a message board and I don't like talking about this to people I know.

     

    Glad things are looking up for your family. Things like what you guys are going through really put into perspective what is and isn't hard about life and what is and isn't important.

  2. The one thing I'm not sure of, is what were The Club and The Mayans a) meeting about or b) waiting on Bobby for?

     

    Yea I wasn't clear on that either.

     

    The were supposed to be meeting August Marks after they had the one guy show him the signed statement and threatened to take it to the D.A.. Instead he didn't show and sent a message in a box.

  3. The family and I are going to spend Saturday there, leaving sometime Sunday. Who here has been and what should I expect? The online reviews seem to be pretty good, but I'm curious to hear experiences from BGP'ers.

     

    It's really cool but expensive which you already know. I don't know how old your kids are but they push this MagicQuest game pretty hard and it's really expensive as well. We had a good time at the water park, the onsite food wasn't too badly priced but you have plenty of nearby dining options/pizza places. Overall it's a cool place but I seem to remember being more than a little disappointed with the hours of water park being much to short.

  4. A 16 team playoff grabs me. It would put my interest in college football at an all time high.

     

    Anyone else? Or do you think 4 is right? 8? Any speculation on how big the controversy for the final four will be this year?

     

    Thinking back on most years, I think 4 will get it right in almost every scenario I can recall. If you expand it too much you run the risk of the regular season being not as important which I think would be detrimental to college football.
