Things are cooling down outside and the 2008 challenge will be here soon. I'm sure that I'm not the only one that has practiced this format over the summer. Any one have any strategies or goals before we start?
Are you ready for 2008

I'm going to start with a large turkey cooked over a few drinks this weekend (it's the Canadian Thanksgiving, don'tcha know
). I have not shot a session for many months, and I'm curious to see if my recent readings (Inner Game, Small Motions, and likely a start on Mind for Pool by the time we score) are of any help in dealing with the pressure of the Drivermaker
It's beat me up before, but this year I'll be more prepared with extra turkey and drinks.Dave, shooting for 1500 (on the 2000 scale, that would be really cheating on the 1000 scale, where a 750 would be nice
)

DK,
I am unfamiliar with Canadian Thanksgiving. Was that where the Indians brought wool caps, beer, and hockey equipment to the settler's so they could make it through the winter? Ehh....just curious.
P.S. - You can see that all of my education on Canadian culture was provided by the MacKenzie brothers (....3 french toast, 2 turtle necks, and a...beer).

I must have been slowed down by the cold weather and just noticed this post
You are close Willie, but they dealt in fur caps, clean water, and lacrosse sticks (outdoor hockey this time of year is more likely to be water polo
).And, just to brag a bit, the first Thanksgiving in North America was celebrated in 1578 by Frobisher in an area of what is now Canada, while the Puritans started the US Thanksgiving celebration in Plymouth in 1621.
Mind you, I was not present at either event so this is just heresay

Hey, yousall having Thanksgiving down there this year, or what ? If you are, and wees gonna have another DMMHT, I have to start planning my excuses for my poor scores .... did I mention that one of the rails on my puked-on/hairy/unlevel table has developed a way-dead spot ? And I think it's only going to get bigger as this virtual tournament progresses, bummer
