Hey Robert,
Thanks man! I have these memorized :) Hope things are going well for you, I know that your beloved OSU didn't fare too well the other night (I was thinking of you while I watched the game). How is your Wireless rollout doing? It must be great (congrats on your Bronze Star as well)
Take care,
Rob
