2008 will be great

Great Blue's back from the shop.  Tranny should be good for a few years now.  Yay!  Biking to work and borrowing cars had become tiresome.

V. Castanza Memorial Tournament is scheduled, sort of, for January -- finding a venue with adequate seating and heating is proving a challenge.  Gordon thought we had PLU lined up, but they want us to have a million-dollar insurance policy -- in case a player slams down a stone too hard, and sprains a finger, I suppose.  So, PLU may be out (or we may be able to get an exemption, not sure); meanwhile, the new kids at TCC may come up with a room.  Commencement Bay Coffee Co. is possible, but we fear the room will be chilly, as it was last year.  (From what the owner says, how cold it is there on a given day depends on whether the wind is out of the north or south.)

Looming on the horizon -- children's championship qualifiers.  Also, Roy Hayashi Memorial aka Spring tournament.
