I am sorry to announce that the 3 members of the Maly family will be unable to make it this year, as Tim will be in a friend's wedding in Iowa on March 14th. (Yes, they chose their wedding date based on Pi Day). I was hoping it would be scheduled earlier like it has been the last few years because we will be coming to the Cities next weekend since I will be on Spring Break.

P.S.
In case you missed it...yes, there is a third player pending in the Maly family. 

The 3 Maly's will be replaced by 4 Canadians who will be invading MN.

You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
CountFount is coming to town!

Their building their decks,
Checking them twice,
Going to find out who's wicked or nice
The Type 2 Tournament is coming to town!
Craig will bug you when your sleeping.
He'll bug you when your awake.
You’ll know if you have been paired with Craig,
When you laugh for goodness sake!

You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
CountFount is coming to town!

Okay it looks like we have 4 coming from KC. My Son Jacob, Scottie Hoover (Resurrected from a few years departed) and a noob Bryan Reynolds. Be nice to Bryan he has only had one teacher... You guessed it. I expect you all to give him hope that he can recover from my tutoring. He also may need a partner for the Teams event. I have a partner, if he doesn't run off to a wedding. So any of you slackers who may want to play but aren't sure how to cover that extreme fee, I will pay your fee to be Brian's partner as long as you promise to water board him into a better understanding of the game than I have given him. My goal is the same as always: If your last name begins with the letter "A"....DEAD. If you look like Taliban residing in Eastern Iowa....DEAD. If you think Wild Bill is tall.....DEAD....in a very Christian way.

This is life and death not about winning...Death by listening to me expound on old age.

The type 2 only is finally here! But there are so many questions that need answering. How many categories will the Alstads win? Will Gabe pass airport security? Will Emjaybee/and or Wild Bill keep his shirt on the whole time? Will Craig win a game? Who knows come and find out!!!

I regret that I wasn't able to make it to the T2-only this year.  It turned out that the weekend between my son's and daughter's birthdays ended up being booked with a surprise blessing from God.  Some friends of ours were given enough extra wristbands to ride all the rollercoasters at Mall of America, that they invited all 4 of my kids to join them for a couple days of super fun there.  They all had a blast (as did I since I rode a few with them as well).  We also were given the chance to stay for a night in the hotel there and go swimming in the pool.  That plus treating us for a couple meals out, and it was an all-inclusive paid staycation.  We were completely unprepared for this generosity.  It really made for a wonderful birthday celebration for both of my kids who were celebrating for the first time without all their Oakdale friends.  I'm just so thankful for how God has provided for our family in such amazing ways.

The only downside was that it meant that we weren't able to make it to the T2-only tournament.  Maybe next year
