No worries, but I’m “WetBankGuy” on BoT as well. I need to drop the nom de plume which is a throwback to my Katrina blogging days. Thanks for the BoT love. we think it’s pretty awesome, and so to David Simon and a lot of the other writers, the music director and other folks from Treme who stop by to leave comments.
