MUST... HAVE... SHIRT!!!

And I just registered with PayPal, too!  Perfect timing.  I await
information on ordering them, though I completely understand about the
possible delay:

Oh, so THAT'S why you bought the Volvo station wagon! :-)  Seriously -- best
wishes for a speedy and happy outcome.  My own kids have been playing slot
cars pretty much 24/7 since I unpacked the old sets (they were down with the
Christmas decorations), so my advice is to start 'em early.

If it was well integrated, and appropriate (like, say, Bilstein or H&R or --
heh -- Pentosin, which we could mount in a little smear up and down the
right sleeve :-), it would be tolerable.  If it was for the X-Cam... just
pray they haven't figured out a way to print pop-up ads on cotton jersey.
(SPROING!)

$20 for what amounts to a long-sleeved club shirt isn't bad at all.  The
event-logo T-shirt I bought at PIR for the Rose Cup was $15, and I only
bought that because they were out of the $25 embroidered knit shirts in my
size.

Keep the money, Dan -- if you're about to get a new baby in the house, I for
one will gladly stand up in court and testify that Advil and Jack Daniels
are an absolute NECESSITY of life, not to mention mission-critical
components of running the Audifans Web site and mail system.  (Or whatever
your favorite headache-relief/muscle-relaxant combination is...)

Best wishes with the new little one!
