      *Hey Mike: Watched an interview with his wife on local channel KDKA in Pittsburgh. When asked (with said mentioned ultimate testament to procrastination in the background and a little one tree hugging her leg) what she would say to her husband if given the chance, she laughed and said "I would knock some sense into him".....Real class act these two are.
