Subject: Art Thieme's offline for a bit
Art called tonight to ask me to tell everyone he is offline until Chris can get over there to look at his computer. It's telling him it doesn't recognise or can't find his modem. Anyway, he cannot get connected at all, so while the emails, PMs etc. pile up please be patient. He'll be here as soon as it gets fixed.:-)

He sounded good and pulled my leg in the tradition of Fine Art. We were talking about people getting divorced.

He says, "Well I told you about my 98 year old grandparents, didn't I?"
Hook, line, and sinker, of course I said, "No, what about them?"
"They got divorced."
I said, "How old were they?"
"Ninety-eight. When they went to court, the judge said after all this time, what made you decide to divorce now? I am off making appropriate sounds of amazement. He continues..."They said, well we really loved one another at first, then we decided to stay together for the sake of the kids, but now that they've all died, well..." at which point I finally sussed out his pulling my leg, again!
