| Xmas Gifts for Coaches
OK, it's that time of year again- time to start Christmas shopping! Or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa shopping. Gotta be politically correct.
So, I've got him a gift card. Any ideas for something small (and creative) to put with the gift card? Gloves and tee shirts are too common. (Unless the tee shirt has a REALLY good saying on it.) |

| If you can find the pirate T-shirt that says "The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves," get that. My coach loves his and has a similar poster hanging in the salle.

What about a nice beer - a six of a of microbrew or a big bottle of Allegash (just tried the Curieux, an ale aged in burbon casks and I recommend it highly), Duchess de Burgone or le Cheuffe. My coach always likes that. |

| My coach asked me to make her truffles. This time, looks like I have to make 3 or 4 kinds, because 2 kinds weren't enough. Mmmmm... truffles...

| A properly executed maneuver? My coach loved the rare occasions I did that!
