Congrats Swampthing, Pink and Bionic Tigers on their win for Florida regional. About time Swampthing and Pink tasted the gold. Those two teams were unstoppable in the field.

Thanks to team 61 for picking us as an alliance partner. It was definitely fun going against Swampthing and Pink.

Thanks to all the mentors who has given up their time at work to help me (us) at this regional. It was very nice to meet Chris and Scott from Cyber Blue. Gary Dillard is always there to crack some jokes and make me smile. Addition to them it was very nice to see all the mentors from Swampthing, S.P.A.M., Team Emoticons, PAW, Think Pink.

Thanks to all my friends out there who were there at the regional this weekend and gave me company. It was nice to meet Ryan from Cyber Blue who came down all the way from Indiana. I guess, Billfred just loves Florida, he was there this weekend to supposedly surprise me and Gary. Thanks to the Swamp crew (I love you guys too).

Finally, I would like to thanks Jim Martz and Matt Kaplan (108 drivers) for being a true leader and for being one of the most effective drivers at the regional. Thanks to team 108 for letting me be a part of the team. This weekend was definitely fun even though this UCF regional 2005 was my last year as a student.

Thanks to the volunteers, judges and referees who were there the whole weekend dealing with us, and got this regional going very smoothly.

... Florida Regional 2005 ROCKED!
