Brett-

Sounds like one hell of a tough month to come, with all that you've described, plus the end of the budget year, and winding up your job. That's a whole lot of stress. Plan for some quality quiet time afterwards if your new plastic arrives intact.

As for naming the brook, how about "Merry Meanders"?

Off to the 10th Windjammers Weekend in Camden this Saturday. I plan to hang out with Kendall at Gilbert's Pub for the Thirsty Whalers Reunion from 1 to 5 pm.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
