    Not bad for a guy who could pass for a 22-year-old.<br>
    <br>
    Besides elevating building science in both the mainstream and in
    more squirrelly realms, this guy tells some of the best/worst
    groaners ever.<br>
    <br>
    An exemplary fellow and well deserving of this honor. I add my
    congratulations and delight.<br>
