I sure hope the season doesn't get cranked up early. I still have a few preparations to make.

With the season getting closer, I've decided that it's time for my scoreboard for this season to make its debut. Last season's scoreboard had a dull, dark background, so I put the lovely Katrina in the background on this season's scoreboard. And yes, the West-Pac is not going to be on the scoreboard this season. I figure they'll go back to their ways of beating us up, so there's no reason to include them.

You dont have to be nervous.Only prepare for the worse case scenario but hope that nothing will affect you and hope for the best. :)

I am, Luis, but I'm still nervous that I haven't gotten all of the supplies I need yet, and I keep forgetting to buy something every day!
