Well Joe, I don't know. I speak Spanish, some French, a fair amount of Irish, and as a good Catholic boy, I have more than a passing familiarity with Latin. As for "an damha/n alla" (spider), we only have little ones in Michigan, but they have names like "brown recluse" and "black widow". Guess I will leave them alone, if you don't mind.

Alison, thanks for the second hug. But a Saint, I ain't! I spend just a wee bit too much time singing in the Pubs. Must be genetic. As for the rest, just doing what partners should do.

All the best,

Mick
