While WoC is certainly a team blog, and I want to extend warm wishes to all my teammates (of all persuasions!!), I want to extend a public and real ‘thank you’ to Joe for pulling all this together and providing the spark. His vision is matched by his diligence.

I’m off the Net for a few days en route to WSBK in Monterey, and look forward to learning from what everyone writes while I’m away. I’ll leave with my traditional comment – please try not to kill each other or blow anything up while I’m gone, OK? And Allez, Les Postals!!
