M... I almost hate to do this, but have to. Do you realize your use of "allot" is totally incorrect? I've seen this in dozens of your recent posts. The correct application is "a lot". Two words. See this definition:

thefreedictionary.com

I was such a stickler with my kids when they were growing up about proper use of words and meaning. Later, I published a newsletter and, believe me, I got called on every little misuse of words or phrases.

These days, I gag on much of what I read. The worst offenses are the use of "then" when they mean "than", or "loose" when they mean "lose", "seen" when it should be "saw". I could go on and further bore you.

You know I mean this in the best of ways, not to put you down. We've been buds for too long for that. Also, the double shot of single malt scotch prolly didn't offer much inhibition.
