Nice selection at Los Al. I'm not here to butter you up because I'm not looking for anything. And you're not always right...... but who is? However. you are truly brilliant at this game. You seem to have a 6th scent......it's an insight to the game that is remarkable. It takes so much talent to beat this game. The math skills, a good memory, knowledge, guts, and so much more... and you've got it all. You must have a very high IQ. You could have done so many things with your life and been successful. "You could have been a contender!" However, this is the life you chose. I know nobody who does it better. My hat's off to you. You're truly the greatest!
