Ack. Technical issues all around. Dang solar flares.

Well that's kind of odd. I guess however they get there it's better that
they're arriving than not. Heh.

They are hanging out together again as I type this. I don't know what
happened with his friend's mom, but she was unable to find childcare today in
order to get in to work, since school was out for the guys. So he's hanging out
here until 5. I think they're a little bored about stuff to do, but I'm going
to be heading outside with them in awhile here. Always better with someone to
hang out with, though, for the most part.

He's already gotten some razzing from the other members that are on the team
(if it actually comes together). At least one of them said something about "But
we only want people that are _good_ at basketball to be on our team." So I know
he's getting a little bit of crap about it. He hasn't asked to back out,
though, so I'm taking that as a good sign.

I agree completely.
NB> Which...? The craziness...? <G>
The craziness is definitely _a_ constant, if not _the_ constant that I was
referring to. My mind is a bit hazy right now as to the exact recollection, but
it can't have been too important. :)
