Gang --

I've not been posting here since the end of my Dog Rocket Contest because ... well ... I've been ashamed.

I started the contest in good faith, but near the end of the contest my income dropped AGAIN! Argh ... that's about 50 percent drop in under three years. Yikes.

But I managed to pull together a few bucks and have ordered the JR Ultimates that are due Kosman (Kosmen?) and they were ordered last Friday, so I'm okay.

The winner of the Dog Rocket contest was VERY, VERY gracious and told me to forget about sending him the JR Ultimate Sampler. Thanks. That $69 means a lot to me right now.

But I'm back, and am planning the 2005 Dog Rocket Contest, with new rules and a different prize structure. It'll be better than the inaugural contest, to be sure.

Meanwhile ... I'm ready to incorporate my fledging network administration / software development / systems integration company, Xceeda.

Thanks, gang, for being so understanding, patient, and gracious.

Now, back to torturing my twisted soul with bad, BAD, cigars ... I'm the Leonard Pinth-Garnell of Cigar Aficionado Forums!

Funk, Cigars, and Topless Cars!
