awww.. thanks Chris! We were psyched to get in a match with you guys- and it was great one! I never thought we'd get around to playing with you guys but it finally happened - hope it can again next year!! (you tell them all i'm nice! for some reason, some people don't always want to believe me :-P)

as for my fav parts of the comp:

1.) Playing with, against, and hanging with all the great people i talk to during the year (you Chris, Kate, Lora, Anton, Kirsten, Mike, Andy, Joe, Andy (scratch), Aaron, Moe, and all the waaaay too many people i know i'm forgetting)

2.) Being around those people who really understand, grasp, and appreciate the true meaning of FIRST... it was, in all honesty, something that some people around me had a problem with - and it felt good to feel at home with people who understood it once again...

3.) Can't decide between good or bad- but standing on the sidelines as I watched my old team Gael Force, partnered with 131 and 102, go for and come greatly close to the gold.. it's been 4yrs since I ever had to sit back and just watch a match and not be behind the controls or coaching.. it was hard- but it put things in perspective in a lot of respects.. congrats to that crew- you guys are still an unstoppable alliance despite what color your medals are..

4.) Knowing there's less than 300 days til next kick off..

Look forward to seeing everyone at the summer competitions, at kick-off, and in the 2001 games.. keep in touch..
