Um, OK I think. I regret to tell you that the Spuddies will not be awarded
this year. Wartime emergency, or some such... But hopefully they'll be back
next year. (The problem with the Spuddies is that I don't think anyone can
do this the way Tom does - we can't replace him with any Tate, Jim, or
Harry.)

One think ASL should teach you is to stay BU. I'm not sure how the army
feels about this, but dang, watch out for snipers.
