Well, one week to go in the challenge! I'm back to full health and looking forward to a real beer come Feb 29th. It really wasn't all that difficult to go without but I don't think I'd want to give it up permanently. My hockey/golf friends at the pub say I'm not as much fun..... I think they're just kidding but we did have a good chuckle over that. Thanks again everyone.

ps there is still time to donate for those who still wish to do so
