i started typing a long answer about an hour ago. my longest post in a month... all of a sudden, in mid-sentence, in the 23rd paragraph (or 23rd psalm if you really belive i'm a poet) the page changes to an advertisement for AOL. if this is the work of SI bob - i'll get him for that! That really does suck. Within the realm of the internet not many things suck more. It's happened to me numerous times. Suddenly my PC freezes up or something while searching for spelling or something on google to add to whatever it is I'm writing. It takes my heart out of it. Occasionally I try to rewrite it but it never comes out the same way or not nearly as good. It's like if I was a sculpter chipping away and chipping away and then I tap a little too hard and the whole thing crumbles to a pile of tiny pebbles. There's nothing to do but explain how cool it would have been and then write a quicky version of the reply. Did I mention that I think it sucks? <Clappy goes to press the "Submit" button but SIBob sees this and quickly pulls out the jack which plugs his servers into the internet.> <Mad laughter can be heard from behind a computer rack in a tiny cubby hole of a store front in Kansas City, MO.> <Clappy sits and swears at his PC and begins to type out the quicky version of this message to send to Polvo.> -LeonardoDuhVinci P.S.

travellin' man- the short version did the trick. i hadn't realized that the water was only 15 feet deep - how wonderful is that?? - i know, the snorkeling question was dumb ... and dropping the pick each night in and amongst all those islands. it'll be like having your own private lagoon. you guys all know each other well enough to be comfortable skinnydipping right? envy is not an attractive trait, but i really do envy you this trip and wish that harold and i were going with you guys. i know you're going to be very busy with last minute stuff today, so i'll wish you all a bon voyage now. send a postcard saying "the weather is here, wish you were beautiful". <vbg> :) sjoser
