Curses, foiled again.  (And she found out, all right -- now, I'm sitting
here in the apartment trying to get all these shreds of aluminum foil out of
my hair...:-)

That's okay -- just do it *some* time.  Muriel called her Friday afternoon
just before she went down to the OR, and she was more than a little pleased
to be getting calls from people 800 miles away who'd never met her.

Meanwhile, I have to get cleaned up and make myself presentable to go down
and spend a lot of Labor Day with her, so with any luck, if you call her
today, you might get me, too...:-)
