Otis...So, your list is pretty much the same as mine, just substituting Houston/Brian for Max/Dave

Auntie CeCe...you're too kind. ps- I got to use your card trick at a party the other night, and then no one wanted to play against me because they though I was some kind of card shark. It was AWESOME!

Tom... awwww, that's sweet. You'd get major points if your wife read that. I could email it to her. :)
