Bits and pieces

We hear a lot about Mother Teresa, but nobody ever says a word about her husband, Father Teresa. Why is that?

Anyhow, this weekend we had originally planned to conduct an MHL down at Bronx Science. Traditionally this has been a small affair, sort of a what-the-hey event, since they were already hosting their local NFL district tournament. Most people around here are on vacation, but a few folks stay behind, so the thinking is, why not give them a few rounds of debate? We figured on continuing the tradition, but this year we just couldn’t get the numbers up to make it work. I think the biggest difference was Pennsbury on this weekend, which is taking in a lot of people, which is fine by me. They get to have a nice shindig, and I get a weekend off.

A weekend off? What is that, anyhow?

On the bright side, this will give O’C a chance to buy the medals that he didn’t buy for the Brooklyn MHL. He made up a bunch of rather nice certificates that act as IOUs for future tin. No way O’C will be affiliated with a tournament that doesn’t give spiffy awards, or at least promissory notes for future spiffy awards. At the moment he is desperately trying to figure out what his Nostrum Series 2 role will be; we know, but we’re not telling. Drives him crazy, let me tell you.

Last night we brought a ringer in to TVFT to discuss March-April. The entire conversation was about the new topic, so if you’re interested, check it out.
