Post Script

I'm now writing this sentence having just finished the report, and I'm strongly considering punching up southwest.com and looking up flights back to Vegas...one-way. Leave it to Adelphia to get me grounded back to reality. Hope you all enjoyed the report and I can't wait to see what happens next year.

Sincerely,

Dan Moskowitz

Oh yeah, and we never got to go to the shark reef and I'm effing pissed! (remember, I'm Dan Moskowitz)
