By "conflicts", I meant "things kept coming up that prevented me from going to any of them - like work, illnesses in the family, kids All-Star tournaments, etc etc)". From Johns reply, I see that "conflict" could have been taken as "too many opportunities, too many choices, etc." Isn't the English language great - keeps you guessing all the time! :-) Speaking of Language, my word for the week is: "Sarchasm" - The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it. Last week, it was: "Ignoranus" - A person who's both stupid and an A**hole. Next week it's going to be: "Osteopornosis" - A degenerate disease. I'm going to have a hard time working that one into conversations and office memos, but I love a good challenge!! :-) Rick - Poquoson, VA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
