Folks, I'm so glad to see this announcement. It's certainly short
notice. But I hope we can get a few of us to play.
And, in answer to Vinnie's question, I doubt the tournament would be
in Alaska. Normally, it's been in Steelers territory. But, being in
Celtics' and Red Sox land will be great this year. So,, set up the
boards, start the clocks, and let's get ready to rumble.
