Mornin', Tribe. I'll have a red-meat post up soon on Larry Stefanki, the coach who helped Fernando Gonzalez get over the hump from out-of-control Chile bomb to Grand Slam semifinalist and title contender.

Meanwhile, I'd like you all to keep Off Topic comments at the AO Crisis Center posts, enabling those who want to have a targeted dialogue on the subject of any specific post relatively chatter free. I know there's a fine line there, everyone, but if you just keep in mind that match-calling and commentary on ongoing actions/players is really a Crisis Center discussion, while comments on my targeted posts shouldn't stray too far afield from the subject. We need just a little more order and continuity here, without cramping anyone's glowing prose, scintillating wit, or razor-sharp analysis.

Also, always keep in mind the inconvenient time difference I'm dealing with here, vis a vis the timeliness of my posts. I'm still grappling with the problem I'm having posting comments of my own, but I'm getting a big kick out of reading yours. Go Tribe! (No comments acccepted on this). We're all sleep deprived, and I need Lucy to pin a WMB on Steggy's chest for the amazing work she's been doing on a variety of fronts.
