Yeah Doug, we have this thing called "winter" here. Alaska has their state championships this weekend I think.

Our state meet is October, 20th. Even then, we run the risk of a foot of snow on the course. After that, I have a full month to get my girls to keep their focus and get ready for Nike Southwest in Arizona.

Oh yahhhh - we had that once a few years back. Nasty stuff - you can keep it. State Meet still six weeks out for us.
