Let's face it my smack talk regarding the brackets just does not have all the much behind it to back it up. And as for other reasons talk smack, I would just like to take this time, and ask for all of your heartfelt support, over the next few rounds. If not for me then please do it for Jared, and Craig and Louis, and Sean, and all of those who I forcibly made into a household name for you last year.

Ben,

You are far from a girly man.  Anybody who has 3 kids can't be girly.  Congratulations by the way.  That's awesome.  Yeah, of course I remember you passing people on the right in your car.  We used to think that was a little crazy.  Bigfork hasn't been the same with out Del Norte, that's for sure.  For some reason I remember you mentioning going 7 mph on the treadmill in a conversation at the Atheletic Club one time.  I don't know why I would remember something like that.  Perhaps it was insane jealousy, "damn that Benny Rodriguez who goes 7 mph on the treadmill."  Or I could just be crazy, maybe that was a conversation I had with the giant penguin.  What are you looking at swan?

At any rate, it will be good to see everyone this summer.  It's been a long time.

Peace.

Nick

I don't know if I could pick out just one.  I definately enjoyed seeing the squid in action once again.  And when I say action, I mean indecent proposals involving female body parts and fax machines.  Good stuff.
