I was a little nervous when it got to heads-up that if Tom lost the chip lead he might crash. (Mrs. Donkey Bomber vociferously agrees, by the way.) But he severely wounded his opponent on the very first hand after dinner break, and from there it was an educational privilege to watch Tom put on a clinic for beating down your opponent into submission. His final table play was a chess game and UFC match all at the same time.

It seemed like just yesterday that I left my quarry. I was young. I was unsure and afraid. My carat count was high and I felt far too malleable for the world I saw in front of me. Tom, I have never felt so comfortable and secure as I did when I first learned that I would spend the rest of my life as <b>your</b> prized possession. The way you bragged about me and showed me off to all of your friends was something out of a fairy tell. Like Cinderella's slipper, I truly believe I was made for <i>your</i> wrist. If you don't believe me, just ask Goldfarb. (I understand why he would want to try me on, I really do. I'm just happy that I could leave an impression on him :) It was a magical night and I only have you to thank. Well, and Julie. PS- Thanks for the vantage point back in the room last night. Quite an ass on that one. Kinda made me wish I had been formed into a <a href="http://eurasia.en.alibaba.com/product/50150132/51314866/Cigar_Tubes/Aluminium_Cigar_Tube/showimg.html" rel="nofollow">cigar tube</a> instead.
