This weekend was the Millard West debate tournament. Suffice to say I was there (as I have been for the last fourteen years), and there were a few amusing things running around.

First was the number of old timers that showed up. Seriously? Gibson? Just happened to be wandering through town? Ha! McKibben - wow! The MW tab team described him as a short, bald, pirate looking like guy. Spot on! Let's not forget Mad Brad... he always seems super stoked about things.

Second, the comment. This is comign from the MW coach, Fred, himself. I was across the library slumped on a couch reading more Grimm's Fairy tales when I see Fred halfway in the door hollar at the kids at the tab table "Hey everyone - less talk about communism and more running!". Stellar comment Fred.

Third, Fred started up the Socrates awards again, after an extended hiatus since he left Fremont High. Damnit I didn't win! I should have gotten one the last year he did it... I should have gotten one this year! It is the only award I covet more than my Ulrich Award. I could retire a happy man.
