Oh.

My.

Gawds.

When I busted at ABE I said to myself "I'll be lucky if I finish in the top half, never mind coming close to Top 4."

First place?

Wow. Just wow.

Not sure what else to say. I will definitely have something to celebrate Sunday night other than ringing in the new year; Rainbow Mountain Resort won't know what hit them.

Thank you TQ for running the contest and all your hard work.
