Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
I think Mike's legs were fresh! He KILLED it out there to helped our team win the mixed division and finish 6th overall...
And you can quote me as saying I was mis-quoted. Groucho Marx

Thanks, Rob--you must have had some pretty fresh legs, yourself!
