What, nobody wants to play in the 'Rain' today? Hey, I have been busy all day... I hope we get some new members to particpate. thanks
I still think of myself as a Newbie because most of you have been around for a few years, but I dont qualify because of the length of time I have been here. I think this is great for getting folks into stretching and entering a contest.
