Andy, I am ready to meet you Sunday at Cozy's for "the challenge". Uh, what exactly does 'the challenge" entail? Craig will unfortunately (for me and not for him), be unable to attend since he will be out hunting for his own turkey. I on the other hand, will be dining on turkey at Cozy's. What time should I meet you and is there anyone else from the list joining us?
