We bought two 36" by 12" laminated mural sized team photos this weekend at the tournament-- one for Alex (The Eagles) and one for Ian (The Vultures)-- but while I was chatting with my friend in the bleachers, we decided that a more fitting purchase would be to buy a shot of the winning team in each respective age group (The Cranford Timbers came out on top in our flight, we came in third, with 2 wins and 2 losses . . . respectable, but perhaps not laminated mural-worthy) and make each child put up that laminated mural sized team photo in their respective bedrooms and make them stare at that team all year, to inspire them to win the tournament and then receive a laminated mural sized team photo to commemorate the victory . . . but motivational techniques like that, though they might be effective, probably aren't worth the hassle of pediatric psychological counseling co-pays and the bad press in the tell-all Agassi-like autobiography.

Get them a Heather Locklear poster and throwback to 1980's motivation techniques
Farrah and Cheryl Tiegs. 70's, baby.
I've missed quite a few episodes of The Test lately, but just listened to the Mount Rushmore episode. Disappointed that you did not mention our trip out west and our stop at the actual Mt. Rushmore, only to find the entire facade enshrouded by fog. I guess the good news for me is none of my forthcoming 15 minutes of fame were wasted on a 2nd rate podcast.
Shots fired
dammit. i should have mentioned that, totally forgot about that moment. somewhere in the annals there is a picture of you holding up the postcard of th emonument where the presidential faces would have been, had there not been so much fog. my bad.
Apology accepted
