->  HN> That must be one heck of a blockage to put you on this track!

-> Yeah, but shortly after that tiny spot of raising heck I did
-> an all-nighter and finished the one project; then got word that
-> the one that was going to hang over my head in Australia was
-> delayed to the first part of December (meaning that it'll

Oooooh one of MY favorite subjects! (grin)
->

Yup, it was raw s'ketti alright three "sticks" joined together at the apex by a

bit of dough.
