   Stop reading? “Hck” just…just one more.

   Many decades later, F. Scott Fitzgerald might have written “Bernice Gets a Tattoo” instead of “Bernice Bobs Her Hair” (with half the story her teasing, should I do it?!) but point more is that there are many reasons a person might be rejected. Some of them don’t seem that valid, but it’s their rules. Where on the body, I don’t think that matters. Phil, I assume running a blood drive would not be a part of his job at the hospice. But, that is IRL and I also assume he will continue to be a part of whatever develops with this storyline. Here we go.

   My 2 cents worth, or maybe 3 or 4, having been in the “events” biz too long….ARC or whatever group has a lot of requirements for where an event can be staged. IRL, The Fuse may fit the criteria, it might not. Bernice, and others, can be rejected for many reasons, such as if they have gotten a tattoo in the past year. That’s a lot of college students out, right there. If you are lucky, you have an ARC regional director who is sensitive to local needs, and they know there are a lot of Luanns who will offer up Mom’s place toward some ulterior motive. Community service hours, something for the resume, there are many valid outcomes, and the need is great. I myself may go out and give double-red reading all this; I’m at over 55 days since last time. It’s comics-land, I hope a blood drive happens at The Fuse! Bets can video-tape, maybe Stef will turn out to have at least one positive attribute, her blood type, Les will less negative. Alas, IRL, Phil might not be there. He has, uh, a job. Don’t ever graduate, Luann!

   Mostly what I see here is a comic strip that is receiving an increase, not a decrease, in public interest, at least judging by number of comments. I may have even clicked on an ad or two for GoComics (free!), plus I may be able to get half-price on a car, ahead. I’ve still got confidence in Milford HS to pull this one out, that shoe’s going down, and people can love it, hate it, but they are eating it up, chewing, swallowing. I just want this comic strip to move on to Winter golf season.

   Thank you, Henry. Best to all, from Goshen, but rooting for Milford.

   Coach Kim just sealed the deal on his second consecutive Coach of the Year award. Best wishes in the playdowns to Valley Tech. Now, at Milford, on to track season.

   Y2K, they weren’t even born then, this Dad sure didn’t see it coming. I got a good feeling about Paul “BF” Banner – go Mudlarks. That they trailed 14 – 7 (or 14 – 4, however many points it is you get for a touchdown) but didn’t go down without a fight is a testament to their character.

   Old technique, media as chronicler of important background information for the audience, setting the stage, in this case not a strawman but good ol’ Marty Moon. For me, it’s another example of the comic strip shifting from emphasis on the kids (with Gil bestowing wisdom at the right moment) to more on the adults, in this case merely a coach for another school. Kim has to prove last-year’s Coach of the Year title? That’s just odd. But, we know Marty’s said a lot of odd things from the booth over the years. Whereas Gil taught us to ignore, we are to see, now, that this matters. I’m just ready for another great MHS/VTHS match-up.If the MHS cheer section starts chanting, “Prove…your…ti,….tle…in…spades. Prove…your…ti,….tle…in…spades,” then it gets real for the boys, girls, and thems. Unless none of them are there because they’re all at the bonfire.

   I’ve given Milford my best years….and now I’ll give Milford my worst years, only fair.

    Luann is a good student for “Interdisciplinary Studies,” an excellent liberal arts major, solid foundation for life.
