Mike here wishing all those out there a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Christmakkuh, and anything else I forgot.  The Sand Gnats staff hopes that everyone has a safe and pleasant holiday season.

We will be taking some time off for the holidays as our office spreads back across the country to be with friends and family.  The office will be closed from Dec. 24 to January 4 and will reopen at 9 a.m. on Monday, January 5, 2009.  It’s crazy to think that a new year is upon us and that opening day is almost four months away!

I will be hoping on a jet plane heading back to the west coast (best coast) for the holidays.  Unfortunately there will be no snow, but it will be nice to have Cheesecake Factory and Jamba Juice close once again. 

We’ve been going green here at the stadium lately, and by that I mean the new turf is coming in real nice!  The entire field is almost done and once groundskeeper Andy Rock gets back from California he’ll cut it and get it into game shape for the Savannah College of Art & Design games that start in late January.

That’s really all I’ve got right now…see ya next year.

Mike
