Sorry I won't be meeting you tomorrow to watch the US/Poland match, Bruce. I'll be taping it and watching it when I get home because I decided to take next Tuesday afternoon off to go watch the Chelsea/Barcelona 2nd leg match. I can't wrangle 2 half days off from work within a week right now. Write me if you want to join me next Tuesday afternoon and I'll give you the details.
its Brian not Craig Dunseth.
Although he still may still suck.

moat...
