Chip, one of your MANY wonderful traits as VT softball super fan is always helping the rest of us keep everything in perspective. I, like so many on this board, look for you (via your writings) to help us get a grip on our emotions when it comes to VT softball. You, like Will Stewart, just seem to have "the knack" to give us just the words we need at any given point in time. I am REALLY looking forward to your final softball game summary article which I am sure will be more of this same elixir that you offered up here ie things that will leave us feeling grateful and optimistic rather than the sadness that many of us are feeling now. But you nailed it here - one does not have to look very far to find the MANY things that we, as fans of VT softball, have to be thankful for! Thanks for all you do and I am already looking forward to the future!
