hehe, Open Mike, that's because both LadyJean and I are in the SCA. I have met a couple of decent lawyers; one even plays a pretty fgood ragtime piano.
Many thanks for all the advice so far. My problem was mostly where to go first in what you might call a target-rich environment. Some of the other tips will come in handy as well. The more angles I can use the better.
Thanks, all. Mary
