And the Winner Is...

Sorry to have been away so long, but I moved and had no end of trouble getting the internet activated. They don't call them Cox for nothing.

Battleship sank me in more ways than one. I have this trick knee -- the trick is it can't support 900 lbs. -- and while exiting Mira Mesa on Tuesday night my joint went out and I hit the deck. You want funny? Where was the camera crew to film me removing my shoes and socks when I got home?
