We face uncertain times to be sure

I saw a poll today
It seems the majority of folks 68% I believe,
think the recession will last into 2011.

How will this affect you as a Team?
Will you limit the number of contests you do?
Would small entry fee, small prize money
and a nice Taste of Champ Que Money
be a way for us to have new contests?

My day job is taking more of my time to make less money
Which will affect what we can add to the Western Calendar.

Back to the real world

After two weeks of "taking it easy" Its not too exciting to be going back to the grind.

Over the Holidays we did go to a new church and enjoyed the services a great deal.
Some of you may know that years ago I was on staff at a large church here.
