So how old is this guy anyway?  I know I'm at least the same age as 
Keith Richards....and, if this fellow is still playing ball, he's 
probably in his 40's, right?  I guess that definitely puts me into the 
joke zone as well...and no, I haven't seen cuskynoles up close and 
personal...at least not the ones made in period.

on the Atlantian Kingdom list about our Principality Coronets, which 
have gone missing...sadly!)
