In addition to meeting so many great people on this BB, here's what's happened since mid-December when I joined:

• I've gotten a huge number of chips thanks to Andy's new members free chips.
  
• I was one of the winners in Mike's History Contest.
  
• I won the Lucky number extra chip for the History Contest.
  (this was an amazing Venetian error chip)
• And now I've won one of Allan's matchbook contests.

I've never had a streak like this in my life...
