digit Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks everyone. It was well worth the burned palm and jabbed knees. No pain--no gain (borne out again in practice). Great drama and a storybook ending--and just think, I bought the movie rights for just $1.75 Well deserved congratulations. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
