Wow, really? I can't remember the last time I won something. I will have to reread this thread to pick a second...
So, can I pick myself for 2nd and then 3rd? Just kidding. I'll get back.
Thanks Nita, you are special.

You are right Nita, it is a hard decision. There are some good ones out there. The one that really got me was Tobia's: If six was nine, I'd win.
Is that contraction considered one word? Anyway, Tobia is 2nd. Tami came close.

Hah! I love it! I have been out drinking fine wine with my fine wine buddies tonight. Well, most of them, anyway, Ghost is under the weather. I thought this was as fine a thread as any other recently, thank you Nita, and you don't know how good the small things are in life that give you that special little buzz of insignificance that permeates the gross irrelevance that so defines our existence.(that's good wine talking) Maybe you do, and that would be even more cool.
Edit- oh yeah, the last name is Miller.

Hey Guido, After checking out that boat you built, I would be beyond honored and humbled to catch a ride on that slice of life. I do make it to Santa Cruz about once a year. I lived probably the best ten years of my life there.

I received my prize today in the mail. It was outstanding and more than I expected. Nita thank you for the challenge again and for your generousity.
I ate all the chocolate in one sitting, but I did a hard work out today before hand so maybe it balances out.
