Ras, I am very glad it went smoothly.  (As a vegetarian, I would still pass.)  But
I am still very happy it was done quickly, and I hope painless as possible!  I
have often found that friends who are carnivores and hunters tend to be more
compassionate when they slaughter their own.On a vegetarian note, if anyone has a
good reference to any type of medieval vegetarian-ism, I would be interested in
doing some library research. . . .(p.s. thank you in advance)
