I gots a St. Patty to feed

No green beers for me tonight.

As much as I want to tear it up and vandalize the town, I have the adult conversation class tonight. Two hours of Japanglish coming up.

After tonight, only 3 more classes to go. Once the class is over in May, although I'm under contract for one more year, I'm refusing to report for more adult classes. Nakayama does have my early Bird-rights after re-upping me for next season [note1], but we'll see if they can stop me from pulling an Alonzo or dropping a Payton.

I ain't a free agent, I ain't even a restricted free agent, hell, I can't even play (judging from our team's 2-4 result last night, despite what felt like a season-high scoring for me [note 2]). But my skills, available only to the highest bidder, don't come cheap. If the city of Nakayama think they can get freebies adult classes out of me just because they pay me for kiddie classes, then they are as mistaken as a Japanese "R".

note 1: Not a perfect analogy: I am re-signed not only without raise, but actually for an unspecified amount of paycut for next year.

note 2: We need better spacing! It seemed that I only have room to operate on the break, and we can't score against a set-up defense. We've got plenty of mid-range shooters but we can't spread the floor without the 3. Adam's 15-dribble penentration doesn't help matters either.
