yeah, i'm getting that feeling. 8(

i am not looking for a lot of research, just trying 
something different.  i don't like to enter A and S these 
days unless i am doing at least one thing out of my 
comfort zone (horrors!  no irish food!) or have to enter 
several categories at once.  i like to show that laurels 
can stretch and grow too. 8)

that's why i didn't spend a lot on the book, but i can see 
now that it is ham-stringing me.
