I doubt I'll post between now and Christmas. I wanted to offer my sincere gratitude for all you do. When the VS went down, I questioned what the hell I was going to do without having a finger on the pulse of what coach we hated and what 5 star 18 year old was considering us (or not). Nonetheless, you have done a great service by maintaining this board (through all kinds of weather). 

To everyone who posts; thank you. Your effort keeps me connected to my world outside of St Petersburg, FL. 

To those who read my posts; thanks for making me feel significant from time to time ;)

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and good tidings.

On my end; I have an 11 year old who finally got the word on Santa this year (don't ask), and a 9 year old who still gleams when he thinks of the magic of Christmas. I've told both boys, "If you stop believing in the magic of Christmas, then Christmas might not happen the way you hope." The real magic is giving without direct reward. (Thank you Santa Mud).

Now, if I can just convince them to not wake at 3:30 am like they did last year...

(Thank you baby Jesus)
