what has happened to us since the <strong>last<\/strong> letter.&nbsp; I thought it had only been a few years but in looking I found the <strong>last<\/strong> in my files to be the

to include so those that never see us or talk to us, can get an <strong>idea<\/strong> of what we have done.&nbsp; Hell most of the people we know already know what we did but I would <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>guess<\/strong> that some don\u2019t.&nbsp; I would also <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>guess<\/strong> that we have several friends that are not connected to the <strong>internet<\/strong> by the hip like we are and so they may never know what we have done because I will probably not send out any cards to those few left on our list. <\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>middle<\/strong> of that under-taking I was determined to <strong>make<\/strong> it out to the <strong>OSU<\/strong> Girls <strong>BB<\/strong> <strong>game<\/strong> this <strong>afternoon<\/strong>.&nbsp; Sherrie decided to not go so I went alone.&nbsp; Not a great <strong>game<\/strong>, they did win but it was not a pretty <strong>one<\/strong>.&nbsp; The score indicates they were extremely better than the opponents.&nbsp; That said, they really looked sloppy and lost at times.&nbsp; This <strong>team<\/strong> is really young and they go in spurts during the games I have seen.&nbsp; for a few minutes they <strong>look<\/strong> like competition in the <strong>Big<\/strong> 12 but during other minutes they <strong>look<\/strong> like they are limited competition for Sisters of the Blind directional schools.&nbsp; Well maybe not that bad but you get the <strong>point<\/strong>.&nbsp; I would say that <strong>Coach<\/strong> Littell has his hands full with this bunch.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Anyway at the <strong>game<\/strong> it was a really sparse crowd.&nbsp; The same bunch that nearly always shows up was there, but no students to speak of, and not many else, but hey school is out and everyone has gone <strong>home<\/strong> for Christmas break\u2026 These were taken at the <strong>game<\/strong>\u2026 <\/p>\n<p><a
