Congrats on the new job, Matt !! Now you have even fewer excuses to give to miss S. Florida meets. You're not in backwoods of Georgia, you are more used to driving the heck off all the time, and you'll have an additional day to lay back after a weekend at our meets !! Attaboy !!

Well, here I am, two time zones away and after a hell of a flight to San Franciso and a drive up to Sacramento, I finally managed to find some time to post my thoughts on the meet days. First off, you guys over there in Florida, stay safe and ride out the storm. Good luck, fellas !! As has...
