Hey, IJAG

Count me in as a helper.

 

Naw, I'm OK with your timeline. I'm just impatient, that's all. We've started signup on my softball boards ... I'm not joining the big one this year, because I got a bit burned last year.

The smaller ones still have that personal touch, where people make an effort.

 

Yeah, it's fine either way. The dear departed Carrie helped with the first one. It's just as easy to keep everything in one central location, i.e. my inbox.

I keep lists: a list of who's in, a list of who's paired, a list of who has received their gifts, and a list of who never sent shit in the past two years.

 

As long as she doesn't need help on a Monday.. you're busy

 

Carrie? Dammit, there's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Where'd she go?

 

Seriously -- there are people who didn't send stuff and had a second chance?

Karma's gonna bite ya'll in the arse people.

 

She decided to blow off organizing an SportsJournalists.com outing and get elope, or something.

 

Those folks get banned on my softball site.

 

Wow. The things I missed in my self-imposed exile. Damn.

 

It was Dallas; not like any of us wanted to go there, anyway.

 

Ironic that we (me included) are complaining about Christmas stuff being in stores so early, but yet we're jonesing for Secret Santa to get started.

 

If you guys are seriously jonesing, I can start it right now. Do you think Nov. 14 is early enough to have pairings sent out?
