Lots of very interesting replies! I'm enjoying the heck out of reading them. Thanks for sharing them the rest of us.

For me personally, th eonly thing I can think of that might be called a quirk is that when I get out of the shower in the morning, I pop the top on a Dr. Pepper and pull a jalepeno pepper out of the jar. That's breakfast every day. But, for the record, I eat a LOT of jalepenos. Thery come in mild medium, hot and fire department must be on hand when opened...I go for the fire department variety.

Nadia...Happy Easter to you as well!

Tom, my friend, no hostage situation. I'm very happy that i am able to help Helen as I can. Joe Harris (Samuel Joseph Harris) asked me, when he and I were in Nashville together a couple of years ago, about the responsibilities in our situation. I'll offer you the same reply I gave Joe...when it's someone you love, all those things are not burdens, they're just the next things on the list. Helen's a pretty cool girl. She deserves it all...and more. But thank you for the kind thoughts and words.

Happy Easter to all of you!

Alan
