Welcome to the game, Joseph!

I vote for 5 and 8.
Mainly to announce that I am still alive. If I can figure out
how to send a message to the whole group, I will tell you where
I am in life (in other words I will whine). I should send out
word to John if he's still around. Plus let him know that our
yaupon is thriving. I don't recall in which round it was dealt.
