Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I know! Why bother predicting what's going to happen ten hours from now? Just chill. Pretty soon we'll see how the stupid mess turned out, and then we'll have something to talk about. And laugh about. And dread.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thanks, everyone. I'm just out of ability to cope with any more potentially bad news.

Our wings are not tired.
Continued loving thoughts headed your way, Maria.
So I don't think I posted here (I did the FB thing) about the final in the state championship with the traveling back and catching up with work and all. They won handily and are now ranked 16th in ESPN's national ranking thing. They have invited the team to their National Invitational in Bethesda at the end of the month. We are so very excited for the boys.
ESPN's blurb on the change in ranking from 20th to 16th:
Clide Geffrard sizzled with 33 points and 14 rebounds as the Tigers breezed past Oak Ridge (Orlando, Fla.) 78-46 to win the Class 7A state title. They also won in the semifinals 62-29 over St. Petersburg and made a strong claim that they should be regarded as the best public-school team in Florida.
The public school thing is a big part of the pride. So many of the teams the kids play against recruit around the world and offer scholarships to their fabulous private schools. The only out of district kids we get are sometimes one from the next county that goes to live with a relative to be eligible to play for Ely. These are local kids that have worked incredibly hard for this success.
The one thing they have going for them is 6 volunteer coaches like DH that have guided them and spent countless hours by their sides. And the head coach that is a math teacher at school.

Laura, that's wonderful! Go team!
I am babysitting G today. After finally convincing him to finish his lunch we are watching Scooby-Doo.

Laura, that is really a tremendous achievement! The disparity between private schools that can recruit versus public schools that can't/don't is a huge one. So much so that around here there is wishful talk of having two separate play-off structures. You all must be ridiculously proud. Is this the best one of B's teams has done?
