I am proud to say that about a dozen people have now told me that I am on their list of people whose "writings should not be read with anything in my mouth that I do not want on my monitor." (I have a friend who complained about this so much that I sent him an email with the first line of "STOP. Swallow your coffee right now." He wrote back to complain that that line had made him spit his coffee on his monitor.) tceisele: Hee! Now I have this “sound image” in my head of “FWEEEET! Happy New-GLOMP!”

"fweeeeet!" All I could see was a bunch of little moths with party hats on!
