I hope you don't mind if I keep calling you Andy now and then, it seems like every Tom Dick and Harry I know is called Tom, even got a brother named Tom. I'm just trying to keep you all straight.
We've been knowing and talking to each other for years now so being and meeting with you was just frosting the cake.
You are a terrific guy, stay good. Stay healthy, I'm looking forward to many more years of friendship

Didn't think I'd not thank you guys especially did you??
Tennessee, Teennessee, Aint no place I'd rather be! (The G Dead)
What a state!! I did NOT get to see enough of it in my view. Its an amazing state with a great diversity of culture and music!!! Think about it: On one end Blue grass, on the other end The Blues and in the middle: Nashville!!!
And each of you Volunteers reflect a different part of the state, even to the accent, and have your own ways
Fred: Volunteer with the most arcane Civil War knowledge
Hal: Volunteer with the most guns
Larry: Volunteer with the most teeth
Thanks to all of you for hanging out with me in your great state and crusing the CW sites with me. Thanks to all of you for being in my life, I love you alll and look forward to being your friend for a long time
