F.A.M.S.

I thought I would to get the opportunity to write tonight about the golf outing I participated in and my miraculous 25-foot putt for birdie.

I thought I would get the opportunity to write about my favorite teams and the stories behind why they are my favorite teams. I mean, come on, didn't you link on here to read why I root for Northwestern?

I thought I would get the opportunity to write about our moving across the street from my in-laws in a pseudo version of "Everybody Loves Raymond." Yes, friends have begun to call me "Ray."

I thought I would get the opportunity to write about Harry Potter night at my favorite bookstore.

Nope, I write tonight to tell you I am thinking about beginning an organization. An organization if I go through with it, I plan to publicize to the tilt. A group if I'm really serious about this will picket at sporting events across the country. I might even lead the crusade at such venues as Conseco Fieldhouse and the RCA Dome here in Indianapolis.

Readers, I'm writing to let you know I am pondering the beginning of - Fans Against Major Sports (FAMS). Aren't you tired of all the cheating, all the lying, all the deceiving, all the criminals in sports today? I am.

It's time for someone to do something about it. It might as well be me.

I haven't thought out all the particulars yet - between sinking putts, being with Wizards and Muggles et. al and moving boxes Wendy packed to weigh about a ton each I haven't had time.

I'm getting to it though. When I do, you can expect an outline describing my plan of attack to conquer the sporting world once and for all. Rest assured if I do ask for a membership fee you will get something in return. I'm not talking about something like "Learn How to Avoid Ripoffs; Send Five Dollars" like you see in the National Enquirer.

Well, that's all for now. I must get back to Potter. We haven't really gotten the journey started and already a character has died.

WELCOME

It's still a work in progress. I'm just thrilled to have the Rueff Report back up and running for the first time in seven years. This time in Blog form. Hope you enjoy the post from time-to-time. I look forward to hearing from you as well. I can't tell you exactly what will be on here, but I'm pretty sure you can expect it to me mostly about sports. I'll sprinkle somethings in about my new avocation - basketball officiating and also some news about the future Mr. Basketballs - Andrew, Ryan, Luke and Micah. I look forward to bringing you my thoughts about what's going. Hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I will writing the Rueff Report.
