Hey Ravi, I'm in a happy mood right now. Can't even think about entertaining any kind of negativity. Sports-fan Syndrome? Have to think about that. Can't say that I am that big of a sports fan. Yes, I do like hockey, perhaps because I often get free tickets, and my boys both play inline hockey. (quite a step down in prestige, and yes, expense, from ice hockey, but fun nonetheless)
But hockey fans are a somewhat different breed of sports fan. I mean, players are out on the ice for about 90 seconds in a full sprint, rest for a two or three minutes, then out for another 90 second sprint. Unless they get in a fight of course. And the glass separating the fans from the players is about 5/8's of an inch thick. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Ravi Chivukula wrote: > > Thanks Steve.

You know, this notion, this perceived ability to ferret out the truth of what a person may be unwilling to acknowledge.
