• The half-time Long Trail glass is chilling for the post-half-time LT. Some traditions are better left untouched.
• Seth just did The Davis Wave in the CBS sign-on. Someone make him stop. Please.
• Shots is once again proud to present the rambling, meandering and philandering writings of Iona’s Mike Laprey, our Down Under Blogger for this Shots’ three-day endurance fest. Laprey is available for weddings, bachelorette parties and all your SID needs.:
