It took me far too long to get this done..  health issues, project deadlines..  but forty posts after the December contest was annouced and thirty-eight posts after your victories were confirmed -- not to mention a month after I promised to ship them in a week -- Stephen and rudy, your books finally went in the mail today.

I apologize profusely for the delay, thank you for your patience, and hope you enjoy them greatly. 

It's a very good thing I'm not in the railroad business..
