What? I'm in your Top Four? HOLY SHIT! I feel...popular...it's a strange, yet pleasing sensation... Oh, yeah - now I'm a dad. The other day, my wife is sitting in the front room and says, "How are you, sweetie?" I answered, "Fine." Wife: "I was talking to Duncan..." So now I'm not even the most popular guy in the house. So your Top Four means the world to me. I just hope I can live up to it! xo, chuck aka billy c.
p.s. of course, if you dropped me from your Top Four, well, I'm not sure what I might do.
