Ben, it is also very cold out here in Island Paradise. The cold snap (down in the 50's today) has become the greatest local source of conversation among the Islanders since last year when the Clan A. descended upon the Island for a Cyber party. The Island has never quite recovered from that wild cyber party. The neighbor ladies, many of whom could once be observed daily lounging next to the canal in their bikinis, now gaze cautiously from behind their drapes. (In some cases, that is not such a bad deal.) I did mention to one of the neighbors that her drapes could use a good pressing but she says they don't have drapes. Oh, well, live and learn. Speaking of snaps, my knee surgery today was a snap. He snapped that rascal to port, and he snapped it to starboard, and then he snapped it fore and aft. Seems to be good and knew now.
