A modest proposal

A brilliant idea proposed by Dan Haase: Hire a qualified sitter to corral the kids while we play. Dan speculates that family scheduling conflicts -- or maybe the guilt you feel as you head out to play ball for two hours, leaving her with the kids -- is holding down attendance.

How about it: Would you chip in a few bucks to have someone watch the kids and organize play for them while we do our thing? Let me know via this simple survey.

Please also let me know if you will or will not be playing tomorrow. We tip off at 8:00 a.m., as usual.
