Well, I didn't want Easter to be Opening Night. I was happy to host it, but I got the feeling that too many people were just too preoccupied, and I was right. We did get some new recruits, and I believe this coming week, the league will explode. If anyone feels the field could be overcrowded, a good problem indeed, I have a few remedies:

· The field is big enough to hold two games at once.
· We have the barbeque, and many talented cooks. Manga!
· People can play Dodgeball or Frisbee while they wait to get in the big game.
· Our Head Cheerleader, Sasha Alcott, has a traveler’s Scrabble board. Don’t be too cool for words! Plus, she’ll allow partnering up, and is very liberal about the rules: she let me use the word “twat” en route to my dramatic, last-round comeback from 35 points. Only Rollie Massimino and Luke Skywalker know the same buzzer-beating glory.
· We can hold “Star-Spangled Banner” tryouts. Refer to this essay for assistance.

Remember, Kickball starts at 6, and we honor the first-come, first-serve system. We don’t pick teams; rather, the Directors arrange them each week, based on who shows up when and with whom. So, for example, if you and three friends show up, your clique is put on a team with the next group of friends to show up. If you’d rather compete against your friends, be my guest.

See ya this Sunday.
