Thank you all for your kind words!
Genia: Yes, we could afford off season competitions, if there were any.
Bill: How could we not support our former alliance parters? It'll be a bit tough trying to round people up in the middle of spring break, but I can assure you that my sister and I will be fighting over our 1147 shirt come March 24th.

P.S.: check out that attachment. aww... <3
Doug: That's a great idea! We hadn't even considered going to a kickoff event. And I'm sure visiting your team would be tons of fun. It may be a bit difficult because, you see, my team has a tendency to be a bit lazy. I might have to start bringing a whip to meetings or something.
See you in Davis!
