Congrats on your daughters wedding

Thanks for posting the old articles, I enjoyed reading the old New Jersey ones, I am still (pleasantly) surprised they actually did the smart thing and shot down a ban here.

Well the video took me to an ABC site that won't let me come back. I do have a picture of me on the seb though.

My current favorite in the adult beverage catagory is Tequila and orange juice. But I will settle for a cold beer.
