dang, this is hard to get my head around.

I'll have to watch this year and declare that I don't have ten bucks to toss in for a clue about the AAS.

I'm happy as heck I'm NOT H&R Block filing for Lance and Tonya.

easy for YOU to say, daniel, you seem to have the direct line to Winnership!

hmmmmm is Lance gonna leave Larry home and choose Hobo for his go-to? OR is Lance thinking Handsome is the go-to dog?


Is Jeff gonna choose a dog for lead he may have dropped in WM?

Tested, tried and trail hardened may or may not be the key to this. My snow globe needs a shot of defroster.
