Lottery Revisited

Once again the team parity and ongoing dislike for certain players "on the other team" has raised the discussion on the lottery. What we need to know is the position of each of the players on the issue.

The lottery is simply done by placing names into various catergories (based on level of play) and teams are formed by the drawing of names from those catergories.

So over the next two weeks either let the league know in person or place your vote on piece of paper and hand it in.

Your vote can either be yes or no or abstain to the lottery.

Please vote!!! Don't be an apathetic Canadian.

"Most human beings have an infinite capacity for taking things for granted. "
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) British author.

"If moderation is a fault, then indifference is a crime."
Georg C. Lichtenberg (1742-1799) German scientist, satirist and anglophile.

"I shall stay the way I am because I do not give a damn."
Dorothy Parker (1893-1967) U.S. short-story writer and poet.

Next Installment

If you haven't already paid up in full, the final portion of the league fees is due over the next five weeks, before Christmas. Please make every effort to have this done without delay. We don't need to lose anyone else for non-payment.



Thank you

Teams Add Up or Do They !!!

The teams have been adjusted so now there are 10 skaters on each team. Those players moving teams have been notified by their former captains.

Averaging 9

Over the past several weeks we have been averaging 9 players missing each weekend. That makes it difficult to balance the league when one team is missing!!! Captains please let me know who the players are that are not communicating their abscences and or have missed several weeks and the league will look at having them replaced for the second half of the year.

To My Dear Wife

"To My Dear Wife. You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 54 years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and I value you as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter, I hope that you will not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my 18 year old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel. Please don't be upset. I shall be home before midnight."

When the man came home late that night, he found the following letter on the dining room table:

"My Dear Husband, I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my being 54 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are also 54 years old. As you know, I am a math teacher at our local college. I would like to inform you that while you read this, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students, who is also the assistant tennis coach. He is young, virile, and like your secretary, is 18 years old. As a successful businessman who has an excellent knowledge of Math, you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with one small difference........18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18. Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow."
