Excellent.  Last night at dinner, my youngest son, who always asks great questions, asked the following:  "Dad, if you could make one food healthy that isn't, which one would you make?"  answer from me: fried chicken.  Doug, we like the big bucket.

	This is the kind of response I am looking for, not Kerbers' Blocker-will-never-trade mantra.

		I find Mark to be a wonderful trade partner and would never say a negative thing about him unlike my competitors.
		 
		Mark- you know how to reach me and if you want me to bring dinner over for you and the family, I can be there by 6:15 pm.
		
		Doug

		You also have to remember that not doing trades can take a really long time.  Look at the Cubs and Brian Roberts.  Blocker has several guys who are available to not be traded, so he has to start early.
