Before I forget...

I wanted to thank Micha for taking over Air Time yesterday.

There are a few other Drive A Thon thank yous that need to go out.

First, I want to thank god..oh wait, that's my Oscar acceptance speech.

I want to thank our sponsors, everyone who participated in the event, Larry for driving both ways, Jerry the Fireman for proving that you could actually sleep in the bed in the back of the RV while it was driving. Aaron, who brought his Xbox, left his cord at home, and bought a new wire so we could play on the drive back. I want to thank Gil, for his great record keeping, but mostly for bringing a bottle of Crown Royal that we put a major dent into. And Micha, who wrote a great opening post, and then mailed it in for the rest of the afternoon.

I want to thank the truck driver next to us for laughing when he saw us playing cards and drinking at 8:30 chicago time. I want to thank Ken for creating the Burger Buddy, and the spanish guy in the back for making it.

Thanks go out to Dave at Romanian who put our order together and had it ready for us on time even though we were late in getting him the order. And especially for giving us two more pounds of shish kabob meat because we couldn't find the two pounds he gave us when we checked the food in. (Yea dave, we will be sending in a check to cover the extra two pounds.

Thanks to Young Israel of Oak Park for letting us use their bank account so that all our participants can get a tax writeoff for their donation.

Finally, thanks to my wife, who rolls her eyes whenever she hears about the Drive A Thon and the MNFBBQ Club, but never tries to block it or get in the way.
