Last Staff Meeting

With upcoming vacations, travel and other general mayhem, yesterday was the last day the whole CRSC staff will be together until the Tuesday following Labor Day. It's hard to believe and something I hadn't even thought about.

So, while we were having a meeting on the upcoming Countdown to Kickoff luncheon, those sneaky devils bought some cupcakes and asked the Panthers to put up a good luck message on the ribbon boards in Bank of America Stadium (see photo below). What a thrill for a dyed-in-the-wool Panther fan like me. THANKS SO MUCH TO YOU ALL!

Personally, I'm making a packing list (chewable Imodium, toilet paper and Chinese language flash cards) and tying up loose ends. Thank goodness for the CRSC staff!

Also, got a brandy new St. Christopher's medal from Dad and Gail Mooney, so we're truly covering all the bases.

On the USACK side, the team has been named, and we'll have 7 great athletes representing the US in Beijing. I don't know them all really well, but have met most of them and look forward to getting to know the rest "over there".

It's a really diverse group from the young guns Fraker, Eichfeld and Powell, to veterans like Zur, Johnson, Corrie and Parsons.

Keep an eye on USACK.ORG to check NBC's awesome coverage options - internet and all their cable platforms - to see all the action.
