Wish I could, Paul (and everyone else). It's May 2-4 here, so a long weekend. I'm off to see children in Kingston; we're heading up to Ottawa for the Tulip Festival. During WWII, the Dutch royal family stayed in Canada. In fact, they temporarily declared a small part of Ottawa to be Dutch territory so Princess Beatrice (I think it was) could be born on Dutch soil. Then, after D-Day, it was mostly Canadian troops that were involved in the liberation of the Netherlands. In recognition of all that, they sent us a crap-load of tulips, and we've had a tulip festival in Ottawa ever since. Pretty big deal, I hear. Anyway, this is the last weekend of it, and that's where I'll be. Have fun with the birds. And, have a pint for me. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
