Nothing new except that dad was pleased with himself. He remembered, in the middle of the night, that he used to call the shooter marble a "taw" when he was kid...so that places that use in Colorado of the late teens/early 1920's. His shooter was alwaysa "steelie" or a big glass marble. I told him I still had all of my marbles and he said good, at 85 he's lost a few!*bg*
