I'm in for the mock draft as well, any spot is fine for me,

Greg, if you could hold the event at this place

you would have record numbers in Florida every year.

If it is in Tampa again, I'll be sure to provide some directions for the nightlife crowd...if needed. Not that I partake in that anymore.

Dave Awesome Dave. Pick a spot and we'll fill this list up. Heck, we'll draft during one of the games if need be. This will be fun.

Assuming the time is available,count me in and spot doesn't matter.

We could do it Friday afternoon when there are other "breakouts" unless Greg or Todd are otherwise committed. If not, during any of the other games works for me.

I'll take spot #6 for the mock

Greg - any updates on this?

Really enjoyed going out to AZ for this last season but under the circumstances I doubt I'll be able to make it this time around.

We'll get 15 guys and do as many rounds as we can there and continue at the ballpark. We can sit near each other and keep picking until we get to the 12th or 13th round. I'll bring roster sheets for everyone and a small cheat sheet from our previous mocks to keep this moving along. I'll keep track of the picks and report it all here. Should be fun and I think we'll easily have 15 guys in Arizona for this. Mike O'Connor is there, Todd, Dave Potts, me, you, RT, Gene, John, lots of owners.

So it's a go and we'll pick the order on Saturday morning.

Sunday is all-day of watching NFL games at a nice sports bar I know. You're invited.

[/QUOTE]Here's my prediction: By Friday the Dow will be more stable, inching to the 8500 mark, you'll feel a little less exhausted and a 5 hour drive early Saturday morning for a 1:00 game in 85 degree weather and any seat you want to take will sound appealing. You will call my cell to find out what game we're at, RT and I will have a cold beer waiting for you and we'll hit another game that night. The world will feel right again and you'll have the passion back to attack work on Monday morning.

See ya there.

The first snowfall of the year is occurring here in Wisconsin today, albeit just little flakes. What time is my flight to Arizona on Thursday again?

Yikes. I can't believe the weather here. Thankfully, it will be in the 60's on Thursday when I leave, but someone make sure we have good weather in Arizona. It's a long winter after that for me.

See ya all in Arizona.

actually we had a slight cold front

and temperatures were in the high 80's - but forecast for this weekend is high 80's and low 90's

Greg - plenty of that BIG round yellow thing you haven't seen for a while in WI
