Apparently you are the only one who likes this particular feature of the blog 🙂 At this point, I may as well give you an annual pass. If you give me a call at the main number, I can get that taken care of for you. Or you can email me your contact info to asesnick@cummer.org and I will send it on to Membership. Thanks for playing! Sorry you didn’t get much competition.
