Wasn't me... We went out to dinner. I had planned on flooding the forum with a bunch of posts when we got back, but was too late .

Looks like Dave??? I jumped on at 20,004 and saw I missed it, but I thought he took it.....stuff, stuff, stuff

Sorry James I think it is human nature to want to win, to be the top dog, to rise to the top....I took a nap with a 3 week old and 2 yr toddler and look what happens. I coulda been a contender!

James,
I assumed you had some fancy forum tool that would flag the winner, but here's what I know. I was talking to Dave (as fast as I could, BTW) on this tread and I had a hunch we were getting close. When I posted the one about the pool tournament, I checked the tally and that post was number 20,002. I thought, hey, I WON! Cause the one before that was the bowling night post, and the one before that was mine! Woo Hoo! Then I realized that while I was huntin' and peckin', that fleet-fingered texican had posted two. One reply to me, and one on Acoma's 42" Tuscan post. Some obvious stuffer like "Looks good", or some such.
But hey, I'm not bitter or nothin' Dave. I will say this though. If this was the NBA, I think I would have earned an assist. Might that be worth a cold PBR?

Hang on. First things first. A 3 week old? Congratulations Patrick -- are you getting any sleep? How is everyone doing? What a great time of life. Enjoy.

On the prize, we are open to any credible claims to victory. Dave (and/or Dusty) send an email message to me (or Tammy), and we will work out shipment. Great pizza awaits -- particularly if you have not yet tried the Caputo flour.

James,
I'm pretty sure Dave is your winner. I'll work out the PBR thing with him. Besides, he needs the flour more than me. I need more refmix. I'll call tommorow.
And thanks for the pool. I love 'em too. It was fun. And even though I have never won one, I'm getting closer!

yeah a 3 week old and I am just months away from adoptiong a toddler too. And ya all wonder why I have been so slow to get the Pompeii going. Every other year I put out a short novella. The best year was 9 pages with a 9 pitch font. Whoo wee I got some complaints on that one but no-one said drop me. Thelast two volumes have been one pagers and I have gotten complaints that they are now too dry and not as funny or long. I might push it on chit chat but it is 1.8 Meg to 2 Meg in size due to some photos. This years is a mere 3 pages of words and 1 page of photos
