Woot! :w00t:

I'm sure he saw the halo, how could he miss it? It was sitting right a top the horns! 😛

I came out on the better end of the deal, Alvin. Thanks for the coffee cup. 😉
By the way, Alvin should be congratulated on the first meeting of the PASS Memphis Chapter. It was very well run, and had an excellent speaker. (In honor of the occasion, I kept quiet.) All of us who commuted up from Oxford were glad we made the trip.

Thanks Bob

Lots of soccer talk, and good to talk to. Hopefully we'll all get together at some point.

So this may just be the ignorant American in me, but is there ever a time when it's not soccer season? Seems like my neighbor's kids are doing something soccer related practically year round. Indoor, Outdoor, camps... It never ends.

Lynn Pettis SSC Guru Points: 442467 More actions · Answer 10

True, but for me there are three seasons of soccer, Fall, Spring, and Tournament with a definate break in there to relax. I haven't done indoor soccer and I encourage my kids not to play indoor between Fall and Spring, mostly to just give them a break. If they choose to play (which so far only the oldest did between her Freshman an Sophmore years) I'd support them but only as a parent. Indoor has advantages, weather isn't a factor, and it builds their short game and ball control.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
