Brian, Good to see you too....

Really, there are worse places than Minnesota, I mean check out N and S Dakota for instance, and then there is Wisconsin they couldn't even keep first place in cheese production. Of course Iowa is only there so that candidates have a place to start that really doesn't matter.

I just realized this will be my 1200th post here and I guess it should be more memorable and profound. I didn't think I'd be away from here so much. I'll post a note in the general forum (or survivor forum) to fill in the last 6 months. I am sad to see how many new faces there are here since I took my sabbatical.

Jerry, feel free to e-mail any time.
