Shotgun Wedding!

Once again, proof positive that FT is the most unique online community in the world.................

After posting the initial thread on FT Community, it took merely FOUR days to recruit a fellow FTer that I had never even met before, to apply as my 'partner in crime' on the forthcoming season of 'The Amazing Race'!!!!

In the inimicable style of FT, this is how our whirlwind team pairing process unfolded:

May 16 my original post
May 17 fellow FTer initial response
May 18 flurry of private emails sizing up each others' interest
May 18 1000p confirmation to meet face-to-face tomorrow!
May 19 I fly CLE-BWI, my fellow FTer flies DFW-BWI for 2.5 hr. powwow;
May 20 After pondering our fates for all of 22 hours, we 'unofficially' greenlight the team!!!
May 22 After my wife gets peeled off the ceiling, I OFFICIALLY greenlight the team!!!!!

Already being touted in all the Las Vegas Sportsbooks as a 2:5 frontrunning favorite to win 'The Amazing Race: Season 9'.................
