I'd like to thank the academy and all it's members, for selecting me, and everyone else who was involved with the process of solving the problem. Then there's my brother and sister, and the rest of the family. I couldn't have done it without their support. Lastly, I must share the award with JohnK who actually suggested unplugging before I did. However, I thought of it first!

Speaking of Jack and Oscar , the Academy Awards provided a little local excitement around here.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman (just "Phil" when he was wrestling in high school and before he became important) is from our little village of Fairport, NY (a 'burb of Rochester). He went to the high school that is across the athletic field complex from the backyard of the house we lived in for 18 1/2 years. Several of the neighbors knew him.

This factoid will not get me any interviews or discounts at the local Piggly Wiggly, but it's interesting to have someone from "your own backyard" (sorry, couldn't help myself )do something successful on a national scale. By the same token, I guess I wouldn't share this kind of information if O.J. was from our village.

I don't know Phillip, but I am extremely happy to be able to count Jack as one of my friends, especially since he won the award for this thread!!

That reminds me of a family story. My aunt would always mention to her kids (my cousins) whenever a Polish person was in news for doing something important/courageous/interesting. She was curiously silent when they finally caught the Unabomber. My cousins called her on it, of course.

Oh yeah........

Well, LeBron James grew up 1/2 hour from me!!

Jack, did you thank your parents for not throwing you back in the pond? Hehe!
