In the early AM I will be catching a flight to Baltimore, MD for a 9-day cruise with the family. Departing Saturday for Charleston, SC and then on to Nassau, Bahamas, Cococay (private island of Celebrity Cruises) then to Key West and back to Baltimore.

I do NOT plan to have access to the Boards while I am gone. I sure everyone plays nice and that lots of good things are found while I'm away.

Please don't forget to submit OTY Nominations and even though I won't be back before the deadline, I will be collecting all the email submissions and snailmail submissions upon my return!

So far, the only fly in the ointment is that Southwest Airlines has suspended operations at several Southwest airports, including Tucson!! I am scheduled on the first flight out tomorrow, which in when they plan to be operational again!!!!

If I owe anyone any chips (or other items) please email me to let me know. But right now, it will have to wait until February 2nd.

Best regards,

Jim
