Thanks evelyn, nice to know someone noticed I wasn't here.  Since
all my airtime is free, I just let them sit there until I read them.
My index finger, however (the one with the ugly scar) is <itching> to
hit that little delete key.  Not sure whether my better judgment will

My introduction to feta cheese was at a Greek restaurant in Houston
called, I think, The Great Greek.  The waiters take a break every now and
then and do a Greek song and dance routine, and sometimes there is a belly
dancer slinking her way in and out of the tables.

	Well, he's got the four lines of text that are considered the

out a bit -- and left out the pretentious stuff like title. Something
along these lines:

That's really all the information an average .sig needs to contain.

Good Morning,

I hadn't intended to be to work today, but due to some problems yesterday
felt it would be prudent for me to be here ....if for no onther reason
that to demonstrate my concern and support for our customers ...students.

I had to drive thru the crime scene on way to work (no other roads lead
out of this area).  Police were still there (guarding the area, I guess).
Just a few more details . ..women, still unidentified, now about 30,
was face down, nude, and shot "execution style".  A seven year old boy
riding his bike found her.  Ironically, the boy, from the city, was
visiting with his grandparents for the holidays since my area (known
locally as Quail Hollow) is so "peaceful and quiet".  It usually is.

...for you you are still around, hope all is well with you and your
loved ones .........

                            Peace,
                                  Don

We just wouldn't let her play with the wrapping (which she loves)
