sorry you've been sick - i was wondering why we hadn't heard from you for a couple of days. i hope the antibiotics you took do the job. you're a masochist for reading such books, you know - but i guess it is important to read *everything* (even total c***). and the telemarketing link was very funny; thanks for the smiles:-) get better soon - i, too, wish i could be there to mother you:-)
