Hey Michael!

->  HN> A wise decision!

-> I've finally outgrown the desire to educate all and sundry.
-> Not worth the trouble, even if the long-term effect is

As in Mary and Brian? I'd not agree with that at all! However I'd 
certainly agree that there will be LCD's regardless of the educational
opportunities!

That's ok, Anne won't let ME forget! Had a Cardio visit today infact...Anne's
concerned because for some reason I am retaining fluid and my feet look like 
sausages...(not nearly as tasty I suppose). So now I am on another pill that 
makes me go like a racehorse (no not lasix), and the silly Dr says Make sure 
you drink plenty of water....Sheesh!

Whatever for? They won't let you innovate the silly things, one 
convention there was a young man who came with a carbon fibre 
Cello...played really well and sounded wonderful....he got the huge
cold shoulder from all the fiddle folk and hasn't come to a convention 
since.

->

Why yes, they did! But it was a good concert inspite of all the yapping.
All in all the convention was superb, and I had a great time seeing old friends

again and making new ones!
chat with you soon
