My thanks to all of you for the kind words and appreciation. And
especially my thanks to John Kelly, who was the co-founder (along with
Greg Brooks) of Video Poker Player, the originator of the "top 40" and
my partner in the vphomepage site. John deserves this recognition as
much or more than I.

I'm sort of like the offensive linemen who block for Peyton Manning, who take pride in him being named MVP. His glory is their glory...except when the Colts blow it in the playoffs, and Peyton blames his offensive linemen. And...come to think of it ...a quarterback touches one of his lineman in a very "inappropriate" place at the start of every play; that's kind of creepy when you think about it. OK, let's drop that analogy altogether.

I'm sort of like the offensive linemen who block for Jerome Bettis...

Yeah, that's the ticket. Anyway, Thanks for the kind words and congratulations!
