Excellent, Wally.  I knew that about Ted being a teetotaler.  He claims he
doesn't drink at all and has never done drugs.  Coming from him, that's just
crazy enough to be true.  I saw a documentary of him and he has some program
going where he takes underprivileged kids hunting, nature education, safety,
etc.  Ya gotta love 'im.

Looks like Will and Bandit are kicking some serious butt!  I never get to go
to concerts, though, because they're usually on the weekends and I'm always
working...to pay my taxes.  8-)
