	Shant is a large stein or pot.  Shan't is the contraction of
	"shall not."  Guess you win either way.

	1954?  Bless you.  How nice that years can be shed that easily.

	Geez, I hope this doesn't get back to my kids!  I've never told
	them.  :-)

	I can only hope he has gushed liked this over all the other
	"angels" that he surely had watching over him.  Cuddly little 
	kittycats always do get lots of attention, whereas worms usually
	get stuck on fishhooks.  Yuck, maybe I should change my trailname
	to "Fluffy."

	I'm having a *Wonderful* birthday.  The sun is shining, the
	weather is balmy, and there's a little cello music playing in the
	background.  [ :-) sorry, inside joke]  And tomorrow I get to go 
	out to "my" trail, after a 6-week absence, and paint blazes.  My
	birthday present to myself.  Yippee!
> Have a wonderful weekend everybody.
	Yes....Wunnerful, wunnerful, wunnerful!!  —  Earthworm
