Aaaah Curtis, my little mouse -
It's so good to hear from you.  But I have some bad news for you -  I'm 
afraid, we cannot be engaged.  Your writing is just too hilarious and I've 
been told my aged heart could not take the strain of the constant laughter  
:-)))

But I'll wish you well with your next love.

Now allow me to ask you a question - if you were going to take a 
single-handed sailboat around the world, who would you go to for information 
about how to do it?  Would it be my brother-in-law, who's actually done what 
you intend to do?  Or would it be your best friend who's never sailed beyond 
the mouth of the bay and will never sail around the world ?

Or to put it more personally, if you were contemplating a vasectomy, would 
you have it done by a doctor - or by your friend the plumber?
:-)))

Did I answer your question, love?

Walk softly,
Jim
