Sadly, for the first time in my 15 plus years in Quincy, I will not be volunteering the entire Saturday and Sunday. I'll be down for a few hours Saturday and maybe a few Sunday, but Cheese and Life is getting in the way.

I'm sad about it. I love working for Gus. I worked for the national staff for seven years and had a lot of adventures traveling across the Midwest for tournaments. I miss the crew and the fun we had, but I don't miss driving long hours or getting up at dawn 30 on a Saturday morning.
I will get into this a little more in my Saturday Whig column, but for now I'll just say Quincy has a great tournament because of the organizers (Exchange Club) and good Gus Busters, or court officials. And I'll get a bit of a Macker fix by hanging out Saturday afternoon the Dream Court, where the youngsters are taken off their regular court and get the full treatment - starting lineups, play by play, MVP awards and more.
Welcome back, Gus. Love ya lots and it will be a great weekend, as usual!
