This book, pulled together during the hazy, lazy days of summer, 2005, owes a huge debt to those who gave up evenings at the pool and Major League Baseball (go Sox! Go Braves!) to get it done, including Stephen Nathans (editor), Suzie Nasol, the Beck, and whoever else deserves credit that I don't know about. Thank you all for your efforts.

Special thanks to the Pinnacle folks, particularly Mike Iampietro and Travis White, for answering my frantic inquiries during the final stages of product testing.

As always, thanks to Pat Tracy for technical and other assistance.
