I understand the confusion. Cathedral and catheter are from the same root word. They are both conduits.

Lots of puking and kvetching since I was here this morning. Having fun? <g>

the phrase "ex cathedra" has entered the language, much as "entre nous" or "de nada", but sometimes one overrates the circulation of phrases, and I was not deliberately unclear. I am happy to supply the meaning, and settle it amicably......

Thank you! I had as wonderful vacation! I indulged myself in unmarried sex to the point of total exhaustion. By the time we were done, the coffee was cold...

The rest of the time was just spent replenishing our strength, looking at pictures, etc.

You woulod not have been deliberately unclear. I have been away and using my inbox to connect me to certain lines of exploration. What was the meaning you were referring to, if you don't mind?
