Thanks, BOSS!

Brian Tane is my close childhood friend. He owns and operates Tane Digital Video -- the company that produced our brand video and edited our 'All In' Poker Table Mini-Documentary. To express my gratitude and appreciation, we made him 'Thanks, BOSS!' The name is a reference to an inside joke of ours. In the late 90s, a bunch of us were in Newport, RI for a summer 'guys weekend'. One night, as we were driving into town, there was a police checkpoint. As we approched it, one of our friends, Albie, who was kinda buzzed and notorious for saying and doing outlandish things, was directing us on how to behave: "Okay, play it cool. Keep the radio on, not too loud, not too quiet..." As soon as we pulled up to the officers, who were just casually waving us by, Albie, breaking all of his "rules", stuck his whole upper body out of the passenger side window, flashed a peace sign, and slurred, "Thanks, BOSS!". It immediately become our standard for thanking each other.
