(I bet old H is a little upset that Syracuse brought Middle Tennessee State back down to earth yesterday!  Everyone loves a Cinderella story, but it’s rare that an underdog can maintain the necessary intensity it takes to keep going up against the big boys.  Especially, when you’re going up against the legendary Jim Boeheim.  He’s only been coaching the Orangemen for 40 years.  Anyway, it’s a great quote.  And, it certainly wasn’t an easy solve.  No that or the, or anything ending in E.  And, the you/your hug/hugs took a little thought.  I didn’t even pick up on never until I was half way through.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
