Gordon, since Cory is your stand-in this year you will need to train him on your fading Boston accent. I hate that you aren't going to make it, but I gotta say your priorities are correct. When the kid gets to be a couple of years old, be sure to feed them plenty of candy right before handing them back to Chris. Oh what fun you'll have ;-)
Chris - I'll also hate not seeing you at the show this year, but you're getting ready for quite an adventure. Congrats!
