For those two months of off-season in November and December, it's nice to be able to practice whenever you choose, not when the weather chooses.

In November, I played four times over Thanksgiving. Over Christmas, I played seven or eight more. So, first of all, I may be the reason they changed the rule that once you qualify for the tournament you can play. I may be the reason that rule gets revoked for everybody.

I considered naming this week the fog days but between the folds of the cloudy blanket that keeps draping our city each morning, there are glorious moments of sunshine and warmth. I have a mix of both types of imagery to depict a cool, crisp autumn. Is it any coincidence that “awesome” sounds so much like “Autumn"?

Hep Decemberdeyim waiting for you..

If the Fed were going to pause in response to Katrina, it probably would be in November and December,

Although we are on the road for much of November, December and part of January, if we can pick up some early road wins it will certainly help to have home-court advantage down the stretch, especially having five league games at home and traveling for just three in February and March. With the strength of every team in our league, there is no letting down and every game has to be treated with a championship effort.
