| Congrats Todd. Sounds like a really good thing. All things considered.

| About the tie. Blame it on King Frederick the Great of Prussia. On a cold
| winter morning he saw a company of his soldiers drilling out in the cold.
| They all had very runny noses. He devised the tie to keep the front of
their
| uniforms clean. It sort of stuck around long after Prussia.
