We're entering Alumni season now-- Sidekicks Alumni game is on the 14th, Rangers Fan Fest is the 21st, and Rangers Winter Caravan dates have been announced too. I likely will skip most of those-- player selection is underwhelming.

Also my band is going a few weekends on the road in the next few weeks, so 'graphing goes on the backburner for that. On the plus side, I still plan to TTM a lot. I just bought cards and stamps so I'll be mailing a bunch out once they all arrive in the next week or two.

As for the band, if you're near Dallas, Amarillo, Oklahoma City, Fayetteville AR, Little Rock, or Abilene, come check us out in the next month or two-- Death Before Breakfast.
