Every once in awhile you type something that you think about later and say to yourself - uh oh, hope nobody notices that.

Jason and Mike - Alabama is such an exalted place I was afraid to include it in a list of more mortal abodes, again, sorry.

Patrick - as a Scot (Douglas Gordon - Stewart Clan) and an Irishman (McCosker - County Cork) I am in enough trouble now with my ancestors I am sure.

I think I may be buying significant beverage (your choice) for Mr Hale and Mr Reardon...and signficant corn squeezings (not a beverage, more of a lifestyle) for Messrs Reasor and Montgomery.
