Mook and Snorkel are delighted to inform the greater OK community that they (ie. Mook) have now reserved a rental car for the weekend of the relays. Next on the agenda for Mook and Snorkel (ie. Mook, who does the actual legwork for the two of them as Snorkel wouldn't deign to dirty his hands with such trivial matters) will be the booking of lodging at the official OK accomodations (assuming that is that there is a room still available).

OKers will want to make a careful checklist of items to bring and gather together these items so that there are no last minute mistakes. Among the important items are: OK Gazebo, interpersonel communication devices, OK Banner, Upstairs at Eric's, Spike's cameras, Fritz's hat. Of course, bring orienteering equipment! Optional items include folf balls, funnelator, frisbee, football etc.

You forgot Season of Death. What a faux pau

-- Snorkel (daniel.meenehan@umb.com), April 11, 2000.

I don't know about Season of Death (another faux pas, I guess...) but "Upstairs at Eric's" brings back great memories! Thanks to Spike for introducing me to Yaz. And here's a news flash to exploit: I have started learning golf. So far, looks like I'm a bit stronger in orienteering.

Season of Death was a book I picked up in an airport newstand when I was traveling (I can't remember what trip it was on). The blurb on the back of the book made it sound a bit interesting -- a mystery set in the far north wilderness of Alaska. What the blurb didn't mention was that the author had done no research about Alaska (so the descriptions of the far northern Alaskan terrain seemed more like descriptions of the rain-forest-like areas near Seattle). The blurb also didn't mention that the author was best known for writing in the "Christian mystery genre."

I would have been better off buying an issue of Popular Mechanics at the newstand.

I think there may be a few 'dark horses' out there as there always are. To me, speculating about dark horses and up-and-coming teams is one of the more interesting things about relay season. Will BSK make a bid this year? You never know. Potentially someone like COO could make some noise, perhaps with 8 points. West Point could make a showing. What about Ramblers, and who are they anyway?

The big question, the thing that all the late night sports shows seem to be dwelling on is the Whistle Pig conundrum. What if the Whistle Pigs were to show up and pull off the shocker of the millenium?

Hat? Which hat? The rooster hat? Or one of the many others, like the new one, with the bells on it?

The cardinal rule of thumb says the more hats the better! Plan on checking an extra suitcase through to Boston just to carry all of your hats.

Update!!! I think the OK community has the right to know that both Mook and Snorkel have reserved a room at the OK Hotel. By the way, if other OKers arrive before the meet registration closes, I wouldn't be opposed to one of them picking up materials NEOC may be handing out for me.
