Yeah, May should be good. I was planning on the NAL too, but I have to present at a colloquium in New Orleans March, 11-13. Then it will be time to apply to PHD programs (i.e. even less time for armwrestling).  You should come train with us will you are here. |

Hey Ryan, actually it is something I have to do to finish my master's degree. The presentation was extracted from my thesis and is about applying the tenets of Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory and problem-based learning curriculum to students from multicultural backgrounds in impoverished urban areas. And yes, I cannot wait to be finished with it.  I would love to come pull while I am there but I am getting in late Friday, presenting Saturday and then leaving Sunday morning. I am bringing my family. This is the first time we have been to New Orleans and want to take some time to see the city. Why would you want to pull with me anyway Ryan? I am a bum. Don't you see the Inthehook rankings? |

Sounds like that was probably the last tournament you had there. I will swing by for sure (wanted to hit up the French Quarter). How far are you from New Orleans?

How far are you from New Orleans? try cafe' du monde from a breakfast treat.  New orleans as long as the rest of the state of LA has IMO some of the best food in the world. I blame that on my "weight" problems, lol! |

Giles didn't go to GAG and the 198s was a light class right handed. I think Junior Hostler and Dustin Cook took 1st and 2nd. Left handed I think it went 1st Chad Lowder 2nd Daniel Story and think Dean Sain took 3rd.

I had to work that weekend. Started a new job (on swing shift) in Jan and can't take time off yet. I work like 4 weekends in a row then get 4 off. Also, still doing my construction biz with my old man on my off days. I'll be at Travis' in 2 weeks in the 210 class, a little light, but somebody just might get STRUCK. After that, who knows when and where I will show up. Still gonna pull every week, but tourneys will be random for me till I get settled in on this job.
