Good luck Justin, and please try to avoid Wooldridge and Muller at the same table. Actually, on second thoughts, do put them together and I will just watch the other table.

It seems like it was just yesterday that he was one of those brats making crazy bids in the midnights at Nationals. Not that he's actually stopped that.... :)

I wish I could have reset mine - I would gladly go to bed right now and wake up around 7:30 to watch the 2nd and 3rd segments. I can't even watch the 3rd segment tomorrow if it's at 21:30 UTC+1, since I'll be in class!!!

I've been watching a bit of the second segment while I have a quick breakfast at home and then the entire 3rd segment from the trading floor. I may have to take Friday off and watch it all. .. neilkaz ..

Heh, I've been going to bed at 145 or so with the audio commentary on and catching the 1st 16 boards before sleep. And then I'm usually up in time to catch the last few boards of the 3rd set.

“You can’t win anything with kids,” said former Liverpool defender [and expert pundit] Alan Hansen of Manchester United’s young team in 1995. Alex Ferguson’s troops went on to win the Premier League that season in 1996.

I feel like Hansen and hope I'm just as wrong. Have a great game Justin.
