The good Col. was patient in dealing with my travel/work schedule and a little bit of flakiness that caused me to take longet than I should have to make good on our bet.  I apologized to him privately and want to do the same publicly for taking too long...I shoulda double or nothinged on the Marlins!

Thank you Col. for your patience and good natured spirit.  I look forward to having the chance to even up next season...

I'm sorry, I just had to say it. for some reason i feel better about things when i say that, even though they are a good team.
