These t-ball coaches are really confused
Hi all. My name is Chris M. and I'll be your kids coach for T-ball this year. All the rosters have been finalized and our Team name will be the Giants. The season will kick off a week from this Saturday on April 19th for the annual parade. We won't be playing that day so no need to bring any equipment. The parade will be starting at the DPW building on Matakeeset Street at 11:45. I'll be handing out uniforms that day so I'd like to see everyone there around 11:30. Going forward all of our games will be on Saturday @ 1PM at the Matakeeset fields, I should have the schedule this weekend and will forward it along when I do.
Please feel free to shoot me an email or call me w/ any questions. Looking forward to meeting everyone and having a great season.
Thanks,
Chris
PS: I've attached a pdf w/ info on the Annual Golf Tourney for any of you golfers out there that may be interested. I think this is our only fundraiser for the year, so this will be the one time I try to get in your wallets, I think.

However, I quit school because of recess and I'm not on broadway so I'm done playing the fool.
I'm ready to know and deal with what you are willing to offer and what you want to do about us.
As I mentioned I'm not a child and 5 yrs is a validated time frame to figure out what you want to do. With that said I need clairification and if you can't do that than I can't do this no more, because we all know what it feels like to go down a shame spiral and yes everybody plays the fool. However, I quit school because of recess and I'm not on broadway so I'm done playing the fool.

this guy was cute, but i'm going to protect his privacy by not uploading the pics :)
Happy New Year/Merry Christmas!!! How is life in the CC treatin ya? Deployment is just about as much fun as I could ask for. The best way I could describe it is glorified babysitting...with your testicles in a vice. Hope both of you got to go home over the holidays and enjoy some real winter weather.
The good news is I am going to SWOs (aka SWO Mecca) at the end of Jan. So I get to go back to the states early, and watch the Bears in the Super Bowl. I know we are all excited about the Bears being in the playoffs! So I don't have to remind you to brush up on the Super Bowl Shuffle....
Here are some pictures from deployment. One is of the fine ship Dextrous....yes it does list to one side...no, no one can figure out why. What a piece of shit. We were in Dubai for New Years. Ryan and I went to Ski Dubai which was an indoor ski slope. That was excellent. Not very big but decent snow skiing for the middle of the desert. They had a jump there too (I think I got like....3 feet of air that time). The only time I fell was walking out of the locker room in ski boots. Pretty funny. I saved the best pictures for last. New Years we went to this Roadhouse Bar (kinda like Jakes) in some pretty sweet suits. The plaid suit I had made in Bahrain inspired by the movie Caddyshack. I would dare to say it was the greatest idea I have had in a loooooong time.
If you write back use this email, I don't have access to my gmail over here. Hope both of you are still kicking a in flight school. Keep up the studying. I would ask you to send some mud pie....but I don't think it will travel very well!
later

oh, let me count the ways!
for cheng's tutorial today, use this writing topic so he can practice the present perfect tense. It's more academic than writing topics he's had before:
How has the internet changed society?

AA H&I MEETING FORMAT FOR SALVATION ARMY
Good evening gentlemen. This is the regular Tuesday/Sunday night meeting of the Salvation Army Group of Alcoholics Anonymous.
My name is ____________. I am an alcoholic and your present secretary.
We shall now open the meeting with a moment of silence followed by the Serenity Prayer.
The following is the preamble of Alcoholics Anonymous:
"Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institutions; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety."
I have asked __________ to read the Twelve Traditions.
I have asked __________ to read a portion of chapter 5,
"How It Works."I have asked __________ to read from chapter 3,
"More About Alcoholism."We have come to the time of the meeting where we get to meet our newcomers.
At this time I would like to ask if there are any newcomers in their first 30 days of sobriety who would care to stand and introduce themselves by their first name only. This is not to embarrass you
– it’s just so we can get to know you.Welcome to the _______ newcomers.
Are there any birthdays or AA milestones we can help celebrate?
Congratulations to the birthday people.
Gentlemen, this is a reminder to respect this house:
All of us here are guests of the Salvation Army. We are ALL expected to be on our best behavior. Please refrain from using foul language anywhere in this house.
Tonight our chairperson is __________________.
