Looking good G-Mac. Thursday and Friday should be our biggest days. If people are going to take off a couple days and not the whole week it will be those. That is my plan, as of now. The only thing I can see that may need a little tweaking is the HOBOpen and HOBOlympics. It may be hard to finish 9 holes and make it back in time to start the HOBOlympics by noon.

indeed, this schedule already has my heart thumping in anticipation! the only two things i can think of are:

1- a name for this year's celebration. for those new to HOBO, celebratory titles of years past include HOBO Hullabaloo (2007) and HOBOnanza (2008). SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!!!

2- this year's team captains need to be established.

-HOBO Hobbledehoy '09 (hobbledehoy - n. a clumsy or awkward youth)

-HOBO Hobnob 2009 (hobnob - v.i. to associate constantly)

-HOBOhubbub '09 (hubbub - n. commotion or disorder)

-HOBOdacious Prime 2009

I must alert everyone to a change in the description for "The Gathering." No need to bring grillable foodz. Side stuff like chips, bean salads, potato salad, etc. will suffice. Rich and Ann are providing the big stuff.

I actually prefer Gloria Estefan...

Looks good to me, Gmac. I'm not going to be there till the Chicken Wing B-fast, but hopefully Brownie will save me some treats from the Gathering.

As far as names go, I vote for HOBO Hobnob '09. It's got a nice ring to it. And I say we have two female captain this year. Possibly ReRe and Shanimal.

In closing, my favorite event, as always, is the Drink with Dwight. Chicken Wing B-fast is a close 2nd.

Hashbrown, ya heard!
