I feel "ON FIELD" - my award says "If it doesn't have the shield, it doesn't get on the field" and "it isn't just exactly what the players wear. It's the only thing they wear".

I am overpowered - and over"heated" as I seat now, with my 49er-jacket on, in my private office room, my wife looking and laughing at me.

And there was a trophy-supplement, which I will try out on my next (non VARIG-) flight - and I will report to you all the reactions of the crew and accompanying passengers: a wonderful, very real "cuban"-looking cigar (Godiva-chocolate).

Many thanks to Vera and Mark and all the undersigned: I count 22, and probably some more supporters who were away when the "NON-OMNI COMMITTEE FLYER TALKERS" formed their own committee and made their decision.

and a special thanks to baobab and CatMan: XXL fits just correct (only for my "non-profession-NFL-shoulders" I will sign in tomorrow for a fitness- and muscle-building training - or may be, I just ask some former eastern-german or chines coaches if they can send me some pills with the same effect.

I promiss to wear the jacket on this weekends men's ski-worldcup-downhill-race at Wengen against all protests of the official race-sponsors: you might watch at ESPN or ESPN2 (I will stand just beyond the second intermediate time-taking, at/under the Hundschopf = dogshead (no cats will be around there).

dangge villmool (swiss german) - Vielen Dank (german) = Thank you very much!
