Thanks All!! And I must apologize as we mainly had wine (a nice Burgundy with a real cork
). And then a little heftier cure-all from the great state of Kentucky.
I just talked to him on the phone (he chose to spend more time with his girl-friend than with me (Good Choice--she's a babe!)).

Again--Thank You!
