Hi, all. Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be taking off early in the AM to head to Loveland for the youth Regional wrestling tournament, where my son will be competing for a chance to advance to the State tournament. I’m proud that Satch made it this far in only his second year of wrestling — and while I don’t think he’s quite experienced enough to advance to the States, I do see quite a bit of potential in him, and I believe that potential will translate into a big season next year (I was able to teach him a near leg turk \/ stepover turk turn to pin tonight, a series he picked up very quickly; the problem is, he has to break an opponent down well enough to set it up, unless he catches it off a re-shot, and so far he’s shown an inability to use his weight to hold kids down consistently in anything other than a half nelson).<\/p>\n
At any rate, that’s where I’ll be for the majority of the day tomorrow, so if no one else posts, please feel free to use this post as a SC primary open thread.<\/p>\n
Also, do remember that tomorrow is BJTex’s memorial service. I sent flowers from the pw family, but I’m sure the family would appreciate any words you all might have to offer.<\/p>\n
Be well, and we’ll talk again soon. OUTLAW<\/strike> WARRIORS!<\/p>\n

\nupdate<\/em><\/strong>: Satch placed 7th (he would have finished fifth had he not lost a tooth during a match, which proved something of a distraction to him after he’d built up a good lead), but still, he bought himself another advancement — this time to the League Championship tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
