Unfortunately I'm not hanging out at 1:00 in the afternoon to watch really interesting tv--I wish I was! Poor you. Pssst, don't tell anyone, but they have invented this great product called a VCR <gg> I hardly ever watch anything "live" on TV (except the Red Sox). I have lost all tolerance for watching commercials, so anything I want to see I tape and watch later. Thanks for asking about my shoulder. It no longer causes me any pain and the only thing I am missing are the high reaches which is nothing to really complain about at this point in my life. "Great Shipwrecks of the Pacific Coast" would never be a best seller, but I liked it because I am from the East coast and I knew nothing about all these wrecks along your coast including one liner that sank right in San Francisco Bay with heavy loss of life. A book along these lines that I enjoyed a lot was "Desperate Hours," an excellently told account of the sinking of the Italian liner Andrea Doria in the 1950s off Nantucket following a collision with a Swedish liner. A fascinating aspect of this tragedy was how the radar equipped ships acted just like two people approaching each other on a sidewalk who dodge one way and then the other until they finally end up bumping. Have a nice evening! JC
