Acknowledgments
As always, it's the people closest to you that pay the price for your indiscretions. So I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my family for putting up with me while I struggled through this project. It was far more work than I ever expected, but what really surprised me was that there was a sense of impending doom hanging over me every day for almost a year. I joked that everything was measured in paragraphs. I could go out to dinner with my wife, or I could write another two paragraphs.
