Lee,
It's a bet, my friend. You did say you are betting that Army will win. I can't wait to collect - let's see, Harbour House, isn't it...
That's great news about your son. I'll bet Loyola has a sailing team.
I also have good news. I will become a grandad in March. The addition will be a little girl (6#10 ounces on March 6th), and she will be a skilled Rhodes skipper by the time... Oh, no, let's not go there.
Art
