Dave, you are the best, and this is a well deserved honor. Thank you for your generous encouragement. Dave, will you be in Reno? I am putting my chains into the minivan ... a big weather front is on the way, and Donner Pass could be iffy.

Congratulations Dave. Since you already won the award maybe you can have them send it to you and you could go to Reno. Plus you wouldn't need to rent a Tux.
