WOOHOO! OH YEAH BABY! I'd be rotten liar if I pretended I hadn't wanted to win, but I'm really surprised that I did.
I'd like to thank God for keeping the electrons spinning, friends and family for support and the occasional posing help, but most of all I'd like to thank a laundry list of beer companies who helped me through it all.
It's been a blast guys. I'm trying to get an officer commission in the US Air Force and this may well have been my only opportunity to do a battle like that for years.
