Keep polishing!<br /><br />(What perfect timing: I was grumbling to Bev McClure just yesterday about having to revise.) <br /><br />:-)Darby Karchuthttp://www.darbykarchut.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-61330640506701345432010-11-01T10:34:41.311-04:002010-11-01T10:34:41.311-04:00How great!
