Congratulations!

This is not real post, but I just wanted to let everyone know that sixpack took his qualifying exams yesterday, and by now should be sleeping soundly knowing he has entered the crazy Zwischenwelt that is life as an ABD (All But Dissertated).  For those of you lucky enough to not be anywhere near our "industry", just know that this is a very big step towards the PhD, and for that, the boy should be heartily congratulated.  From one Drunkrunner to another, I say congrats (and welcome to the club), Donno!

PS:  We have been frantically working/exchanging suggestions behind the scenes, and when not cramming, Sixpack somehow found time to stretch the banner.  Assuming that's the end of the birthday facelift, I would like to say I think our blog looks pretty damn good now.  Another congrats to the man!
