Mike,

I'm curious if the game of Schultz will endure until our next gathering. Carlos and I have adopted the game at the shop, minus the hearty open-handed punch to the head. Once it's a habit to flash the secret sign, one should be able to hang around with everyone and still not suffer THAT kind of brain damage.

Come to California, get some brain damage.
