Dear Richard...no problem, but since my prostate surgery, it's Dumb Dangler,
and not Dumb Dingler. I sure am sorry if I offended anyone from down south of
here, but something happened to my E-mail after it left my computer. The
E-mail you received should have read, "...those people don't shower, they bathe
in fine exotic perfumes." You know our webmaster runs a tight ship, and he
probably clipped the tag line thinking it was 'kinky.' He's from Utah, you
know.

Of course you're correct. While it was on purpose, I now apologize.
LOUISVILLE beat MARQUETTE last night with a three point buzzer beater, scoring
the
last fourteen points in the game. I've not gotten over it, but I should be OK
by DERBY Day.

I can't bring a race car this spring, but I am hoping to be there. Your
Yankee reference suggests you think my mother-in-law is coming. No...it'll be
just me.

Me! See you soon...
