NGS II Concession Speech: Thanks, Thoughts and Congrats...

Thanks...
Just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who voted for Brandon (HiPlains), myself and the other finalists during the NGS II competition.
Thanks for all the comments and support I received throughout the course of the contest, as well as the constructive criticism, which can all go to helping me become a better writer, I really appreciate it.
Also, I wanted to thank the judges for the opportunity to compete in the Final 16. It was an experience I'll never forget.
My wife deserves special kudos, as she listened to me ramble on for hours about this thing, listened to me type on those keys for hours at a time and supported me without a word the entire time.
And special thanks to my editor and confidant who kept me sane and focused throughout the competition.
Thoughts...
-Last night, for the first time in nearly three months, I didn't turn on the computer at home. I went to dinner with my family, watch my son's new favorite movie, The Mummy Returns (don't ask), and watched the NBA Draft. It felt strange to not have an assignment about it-but also relieving at the same time.
