Hey dudes, I had a revelation the other day. I'd stopped at an oasis in south Chicago to get some food, and as I walked back to the truck I realized how small and insignificant the truck is compared to all the other big rigs.

So what has the been the most biggest, important ingredient in my journey this fall?

You guys.

Without you guys I would be driving aimlessly around the roads of Middle America, Pascal and Brett would be twiddling their thumbs out west, and water balloons across the country would feel safe.

As I head into my final weekend of regular season meets (oh yeah, it's kind of a big meet down in Peoria) and then get into a whirlwind tour the country to hang out with you guys at NXN regional meets, I'd like to thank you guys for making this fall nothing but non-stop good times.

Alrighty dudes, take it easy.

Chris
