TEAM NAME:
We don't have one yet. What might our criteria be? Personally, I'm hoping we can come up with one that is witty, but also makes people think about the important things in life. As for witty, elections will be in full swing next year... hmm...

CALL FOR NAMES I:
Here's the procedure: Think up some names, several, dozens if you wish, email them to kaech@verizon.net by June 8, I'll compile them without saying who submitted each, and will post the "first wave of team names" here and via email. Then we can take months to ponder and discuss.

Some team names from 2006:

Where Is My Team?
Extreme Detour
Kiss Me I'm Klingon

Gosh, suddenly everything I see becomes a possible team name. Deanna just took a sticker off of a shirt and it read "Instantly Slims You". Hey, that could be our team name! ;-)
