Thanks, folks!

Prashant C. Trikannad said...

"In three media" That's quite apt, Todd, thanks for including my post as well as for the latter comment on the sf book.

George said...

Thanks again for hosting while Patti is jetting around the country, Todd! You're really getting good at this!

Todd Mason said...

Well, thanks, George. I'm not sure I'm improving, but hope at least for no erosion.

Prashant...you're quite welcome...thanks for engaging!

Kevin R. Tipple said...

Thank you, Todd. And thank you for stepping in for Patti.

Sergio (Tipping My Fedora) said...

Thanks for including me in this roundup Todd - much appreciated.

Todd Mason said...

Gentlemen...you're acting as if I'm doing you the favor, rather than the other way around. At worst, a mutual favor. Thank you.
