Since 10 is the most expensive, you can see how my reasoning came about. Well done, pal. You made the list.

Congratulations! Of course, I knew about this before anyone else since I compiled the list. One of my last official duties as the book columnist for The Birmingham News. Now I'm a humble blogger, too. And you're setting a fine and funny example.
