Might have to give him a call or something... I finally connected with
my friend (and former adult piano student) Justine by phone... it had
been probably over a year since the last time I stopped in to visit
her... Sometimes one just can't do it all when one would like to be able
to do it... ;)

I've heard that it isn't really the cholesterol one eats, but how one's
body produces/uses it, that makes the difference... Just because it gets
ingested doesn't mean it goes to the bloodstream...

I suppose this constitutes fair warning... :)

Just have to have your game plan ready... ;)  Or be satisfied with the
sanitized versions... ;)

Thank you... :)   And ok, Ohio's not that far off... and not south but
east.... Guess you might have encountered the same marshmallows... but
maybe didn't get to taste them as stale as the ones I had... (G)

... I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
