I love ya buddy.

I have been trying to conjure up a reply to this, but I must've resorted back to my "big dumb jock" days. I am typing slowly.

Thanks, John, for the kind words.

As for the "geek" label, I admire people who embrace it. Personally, I am more proud of being a geek as opposed to a jock. I can easily shift gears from being a jock to a geek or even a hick. All are OK with me, but I prefer geek. Don't get me wrong, I am not biased against jocks or hicks... I just think that geeks have more importance in the world we live in.

I don't know about you all, but my heros tend to be geeks.
