Thanks to all for your kind wishes last night!

Swanky: Actually, I have an ice-crusher attachment for the Oster Beehive blender, however, after about the eighth mai-tai, I gave up on it, considering it too be too dangerous to use in the state I was in!

Humuhumu: Morpheus sister? Hmmmm ... must be either a Neil Gaiman fan or into Death Metal perhaps? In the Greek Pantheon, of the three named Oneiroi, all of them were males.

Son of Mothra: (I love that name!) Liver transplants???? What's a liver? In fact, my family is one of those cursed with an overly efficient enzyme that breaks down alcohol slightly more efficiently than a lot of folks. This can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you look at it. The upside is that I've NEVER had a hangover, no matter how much I drink (even to the point of passing out).

BK: Yes - the Goslings is superior; you've made a convert of me! We did OK in the Hurricane, though I've been on the roof all morning trying to repair the spots where all the shingle got ripped off. Figured I'd better do it before Ivan so I can start with new leaks in different spots next time around.

Kon-Hemsby: I've always wanted to ask if those are your tattoos ... man - that is some totally awesome body art!!! My daughter Christina, who is 5, recently asked when she can get a tattoo. I'm screwed.

Drunken Hat: I work for Siemens ... I work in the area of cryptography and security. It isn't much fun except when I get to go to Munich. Cryptography is the worst; if anyone is looking for a career change, I'd advise against this field.

Urban Tiki: Yes - rum is the bare minimum essential element in case of a storm. I thank the ghods for rum each and every day - but for a different reason perhaps than one might expect ... if I get drunk enuf, I might write a dialogue on the subject sometime. As far as being able to type while under the influence, I normally type at about 80 words per minute - last night, my final post to Pablus took almost 20 minutes. By my calculation, that's just about 2 words per minute - so it does take a toll!

Cheers!
