Now these reports sort of put a wilt on ol' BIG MIKE  - the selfish codger may yet have a trace of humanity flowing in his blood !

Ron, you may advise squire Drew that we all love "fresh meat'! ;) Seriously, THIS type of report is what it's all about - put a smile in my mind that will work on my bad attitude well into the long winter! Knuckling down after a dissapointing start, Drew demonstrated the character of a true competitor - an inspirational performance indeed.

Obviously, LC didn't swill the proper amount of the precious POND FROTH prior to the event . . we gotta wonder what's going on "out there"  - when the Head Beaver can't psych out a newby, SOMETHING is amiss! But, a 250-19x HBR score isn't exactly rollin' over either!

Again, thank you both for brightening up a winter day!

Happy Holidays! R.G.
