We call him The Zoo Keeper. That is his only job with the league. We also have other policies in place to avoid some of the issues we've seen in other leagues. However, no matter how well prepared, we knew we were bound to run across something unexpected. We knew there would eventually be something that happened that we were not prepared for. That will be the topic of my next blog. We hit that something unexpected. Stay tuned. I'll tell you how we handled it.

That will be very exciting to see how you girls come up! We are rooting for you! Second, the honeymoon period is not only a fact of derby, it's a fact of life. What comes to mind are the first reality shows back in the day (Like MTV's Real World). They were like... "see what happens when people stop being nice!" My question for you (or anyone) is what things can you do to extend the honeymoon. There have got to be some answers to this problem.
