Hi Mark,

Um, I think it might take a bit more than Manolo Blahniks... . Did those Swedish surgeons graft kinky boots too? You might have to change your tagline to "ChinS up!!".....

Still, when we go on our virtual vacation I won't feel too terrible beside you on the beach! I'm definitely thinking Carribean or Costa Rica, gorgeous everyone says. Anyone else coming, can I bring my doglet? She's a sweet-tempered beagle, does nothing but eat and sniff...
"blue drinks, smiling at me, nothing but blue drinks do I see..."

Oh yes, wanted to give you the URL of a fun site, since you paint, it's
http://www.zewall.com/
and you can paint graffiti (or the Mona Lisa) on to a NY subway, the roofs of Paris, a London bus.... you'll like it, hours of pointless amusement

love ya, all the best!
