Congrats on making the 4K club, cher. The wearing of a certain clothing article on my head in N'Awlins is a privelege and memory I will relish until the end...or until it vaporizes in a "senior moment".

Your numerous contributions of time and energy have made the SEA FT community, as well as the rest of FT, a much more enjoyable and worthwhile place. Why, if you hadn't gotten me hooked on Do's, I'd have never met some absolutely terrific people, done some superbly fun and outrageous things and seen some life enriching places...including being completely knocked out by BCN. Here's to more tubbing, meat, mojitos and vino....we'll get a cigar in yer mouth yet over New Year's
