Mike,

I would attribute some of it to a spike in gas prices and a harsher than normal winter. I can remember a couple of the drives in late December and early January where I probalby should not have been on the roads but traveled anyway to make a weekend tourney. I have several out of state baseball tourneys to attend this summer and I am hearing talk of $4/gal gas. What is your point of pain? I can't help but think that some families found theirs this season.

The numbers in my room are up from last year...but only slightly so. We have two more entrees in subs than we had last year; I hope we have a better overall result
