Thanks, and same to you!  8-)

I dunno... I have this image of pipe smoking linked to telling stories; a
bunch of guys sitting around a fireplace, smoking pipes and drinking
<beverage of choice>, reminiscing about bygone days and swapping tall
tales.  The digest gets kind of dry when we just talk about smoking, and
this is my way of livening it up a bit.  (I keep hoping that it'll catch on
with other people...)


I realize these stories get a bit long sometimes, and maybe I'm the only
person who thinks they're amusing.  If I get out of control, just let me
know.
