Me thinks you guys are spending way to much time on your computers. You  
should be out sailing and drinking and in general having a great time. Me? I'm  
working on my honey do list today, but I might open the bar early.

MJM,

You want flowers?  I just sprayed some in my front  yard this morning, send
me your address and I'll FedEx you a dozen. My Bo  list penalizes listers
with donations to the Margarita fund at the Oshkosh  fly-in.  If I had to
apologize to everyone I ever offended I'd never  have time to fly or sail,
that said -

Please accept my apology to  those of you who feel they have been a
"target".  That includes you Al  Gore for me suggesting you're a charlatan
and you Chocolate Baby Jesus for  suggesting you don't have a single
significant accomplishment under your  belt.
