I have a bunch of sites open and was looking at one wondering why they weren't moving, wondering if the feed was frozen, and then realized I was looking at a picture.. LOL

Man.. they must be so stoked right now. Keep your focus guys.

And... it goes!

After a good adventure, I often call to mind a bit of Horace's Odes:

Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul or rain or shine
The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven itself upon the past has power,
But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

Seems apropos for the team. Congratulations Tommy and Kevin. Toasting your success!
