MM> Fjords are just fine.  You must have a real backlog of mail there.  That

     Care to date this one, Mike?   I'll give you a hint; its 
so old that I better ask the question again! :) How's Malla? 
 
MM> What is with this taking a year off stuff?
     Had a bad year, lots of family problems going on here... was 
heading into my last year with no real direction as to what to do, and 
my marks were showing it... so I took the year off, spent it almost 
entirely volunteer at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, met 
lots of new friends, got chance to think about what I wanted to do and 
how I wanted to do it, and came back to school and kicked some 
acedemic butt!   Well, most of that butt... Calculus wasn't the 
greatest, but the rest of my marks kept my average up good enough to 
get into a good university, so... I'm happy! :)
 
     BTW, what's Niki doing in College? She's been in there a year or 
two by now, no...?
 
     ... I need to go riding! Hopefully things will fall into place for 
me to go riding this afternoon, after my St. John Ambulance duty... 
Jimm by all accounts is in good need of some good honest work! :) I 
need it too -- got on the scales for the first time since I stopped 
riding (due to school getting really nasty, etc) when I was getting 
fitted for my tux for the Formal, and... well... it wasn't pretty . 
MM> I don't think she reads here at all any more.  She does have an internet
MM> address but I don't think I have it.
karen.malcor@feed.com, I think, FWIW.
Regards!
Michael
