A note from a friend
"Hi Paul,
"Hope you had a great vacation. Didn't see you at Hoopfest so wanted to relay what I thought was the best public-address comment of the weekend.
"Preceding the playing of the national anthem on Sunday a.m. the announcer implored the Hoopfest masses to 'please remove your hats and hold your balls.'
"I just removed my hat. Attention riveted on Old Glory, I didn't observe what others did."
