Hi,
This is just to let my opponents in the New Years Tournament know I am off on vacation for about a week or so. If I don't get back in time, feel free to take the T/O, as you should by the rules.
And yes, I WOULD take the timeout on you...

I'm off to have fun, hope all of you do to, and (hopefully) see ya' in the games when I get back.

Michael.
