Time to pay a couple of bills around here, so pardon the interruption while I give you the latest update on one of our sponsors. 

I told you guys a few weeks ago that you could help get members of the Dome Patrol elected into the Hall of Fame by casting your vote in the JC Penney/Van Heusen Fan's Choice Vote.

Dave the Falconer:  I certainly am envious of the success this season.
