And it would mean that the entire period between Halloween and New Years Day would suddenly be empty on my calendar. And trust me, the very last thing you want to see is me with time on my hands and access to power tools. So, it ain't going to happen.

Lucien, I am SO going to sick Malcolm on you for even thinking of this!

While I can see the problems with such a grand scheme, Dave, I have to ask--where is the process on the next year's game by the Championship? Not even touched? Vague, "wouldn't-it-be-awesome-if" ideas? Something I'm not even thinking of because I should be asleep?
