OUCH! I was smiling about the compliment then I got to the rest of your
comment. Sorry for the delay! I do have the changes on the location and
the date and it is now in my working file and ready to upload. However,
we had a vicious thunder storm last night and my power was out all
evening. Starting when I get home tonight (around 7:30pm) I'll upload
the changes plus a whole lot more information on the new coaches,
players and up coming events. The new player photos are in the works and
thanks to Monty Rand I should have those to load by the end of next
week.
