<p>Good luck, and may the force be with you ...</p>

<p>(Btw I love peach pie...)</p>

<p>I'm heading out to lunch and errands right now, so I'm opening the thread in case I don't get home before 1:59:26.54.</p>

<p>Please delete the spaces in the brackets when posting your stats, or else your friendly local (slightly OCD) moderator is likely to go insane fixing everybody's incorrect formatting. We're all smart people here, and I know you can format your post appropriately, no matter how excited you are.</p>
