HAPPY NEW YEARS

Thank you, Bees! 2019 was a wild ride and 2020 may be even wilder. I’m talking about basketball, of course! :rolleyes:

May the baskets always be wide, may the courts be fast, may the refs be fair, and may the threes rain down upon us, and grant us peace. Amen.
 
Thanks Bees, right back at you and everyone else too.

I remember long ago thinking 2020 sounded infinitely long away. Time flies, especially as you get older!

Hard to believe the board is going to be 20 years old soon. Almost old enough to drink!

May the courts be narrower than those NBA courts...
 
Echoing the sentiment. Looking forward to a great one for all of us!

PSA:
That Gaelic pronunciation guide is unlike anything I've ever heard actually spoken.

if you can't trust the internet, who can you trust?
-Mark Twain


To say “Cheers” in Irish most simply, tell someone “Sláinte,” which is pronounced slawn-cha and translates to “Health.”
