Handiman Update
Some of you know that I started losing my eyesight this last year. It got to the point I had to put a halt to my programming. I was left with the only avenue to enjoy this sport that being through intellectual and philosophical discussion of methods, factors and just general handicapping.
Dave Schwartz of HSH fame has been kind enough to be a sounding board for me. Through our talks we have exchanged some interesting information. Just recently he shared some info concerning a new project. I found it very interesting and quite intriguing. The cool part is when Dave gets the final touches done, it will be available to HSH users and (Cool Part) Pencil and Paper cappers will also be able to take advantage of the info.
Anyway I didn't mean to turn this into a commercial for Dave, but a chance for me to publicly thank him for his kindness during this very difficult time of my life.
P.S. I have been getting eye injections for a few months now. My doctor says he thinks he can save my vision and even improve it to the point I can get back to programming.

Handiman, you've been nothing but a giver on this board for a long time.
You've also been a very good friend to me, my family, and even my pets.
People, would you believe that George (our assh... I mean cockatoo) even loves Handi?
It's I who should be thanking you.
Dave
