      Hi Struther,
SM> You know... I really "DO(!)" wish you'd stop making all those references
SM> to sailing - it really hurts!.. but then, we've only got 14 weeks
SM> until the boats are IN THE WATER!!!!.. not READY for launch, but IN THE
SM> WATER!!!  I'd better get hustling on those jobs I wanted to get done -
SM> that 14 weeks'll zip right on by before I even know what's happening!

      Maybe you're right, I'm man enough to admit that "maybe" you're
right.  I remember all those sailing posts last winter when I lived in
Toronto, and how bad I felt knowing that it was only December and no boats
would be in the water for another 5+ months.  I'm being overly cruel to you
guys... I admit, I love it(!), but I'll try to tone it down a bit.  Hey,
keep your chins up, 14 weeks is only 4 cold months! 
--------------------
SM> Two weeks in Toronto is enough, eh?... I think what really irks me about
SM> that line is that I'd just L O V E to come back with some sort of
SM> zinger, but I can't... I think I'd agree with you! (write that down - it
SM> doesn't happen very often)

      Sounds easy enough, maybe I'll have a look when I'm at the National.
I kind of thought you would have wanted me to paint your boat's new name on
the side or something - eventhough I do think KIT KAT is an odd name for a
mono-hull sloop... now, if it was a quad-hull...
  Don't count on me keeping out of trouble just 'cause my hands are
occupied... I still managed to break something very useful and very
important while I was working on Bob's boat! 
  I'll be in TO from 01/25 to 02/10.  I'll give you a ding :^)
     Cheers,
