Oh, Bob, that is so funny! That poem is in my collection of inspirational
poetry, and when my husband was living it was his favorite poem. But put in
this context I'm ROLF (rolling on the floor laughing).
Sue S., who thanks you for your sense of humor on this list.

Speaking of the new web site, I think a little poetry is in order.
Eldorado
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old-
This knight so bold-
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow-
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be-
This land of Eldorado?"
"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied-
"If you seek for Eldorado!"
Poetry provided by Edgar Alan Poe, synicism provided by
Bob (the list jester).

No, we don't have a new stripper yet. It is part of the new website, and
will make its debut when the new website makes its debut. (And before you
ask, no, I don't know when the new website will be deployed.)
HTH, Carrie

I haven't been keeping up with my mail and have done a few mass deletes in
this folder over the past few weeks. Do we officially have a new stripper
now or is this talk about when we do? Thanks.
