from my previous active participation. I just don't have the time anymore. Something needed to take a hit. It's been about 12 years since I joined to support and follow Madison Cable's progress. Who knew I'd still be around but for the great people on McGraw's Bench (and beyond).

I like to think I helped make the Bench a more entertaining, informative, and fun place. You need to carry-on now. I need to play more sports rather than follow them, but I'll still be reading. Excited about soccer next year! (among other things)

A great time to be Irish!

I was searching the internet trying to find out why Madison wasn't playing her freshman year and I came across a post on the Bench about her troubles with her knees and then kept coming back. The two year hiatus I took a while back was worthwhile, I'm sure you will miss some parts, you don't find many people willing and able to talk wcbb in real life, but overall enjoy it.

I always looked forward to your posts, especially the poems, you have a unique perspective. The board is getting a little bit tedious these days.

Enjoy yourself and I'll be disappointed if you end up taking up pickleball.

BTW, I think it was fractures in her feet freshman year, but I can believe someone posted "troubles with her knees."

(I think you were the only one to "enjoy" the "poems".) I genuinely thank you.

it was her knees because she always wore the knee braces afterwards that she never wore in high school.
