Ok, i tried this technique again and got it to work, not sure what i did
different this time (i think i was calling 'theResponse' just 'response'
when i first tried it, but not sure why that would matter).
In any event, its really nice to understand the multiple ways to
accomplish this, thanks.
Now if i can just get that .bind method to work as well ... ;-)
