I enjoyed this post very much, but having been here since Feb 16, 1998 I am
painfully aware of the syndrome. Where were you last night? We had a hell of

didn't wake up till this morning and I was naked and had on some mardi gras
beads and a funny hat.
Peace
Michael (obviously feeling better tonight, but sleepy)
