   Lovely.  I missed it among the chaff and had begun to wonder if my posts are   
   only going as far as my newsreader.   
      
   Maud hung in my office for months and bemused my coworkers.  Now I entertain   
   them with Origami and LOTR action figures.  I wish we had a line of rap   
   action figures -- perhaps I'll try with the origami.   
      
   cheers, and thanks --
