Hey CarolC - I take no irony badly, be it heavy-handed, soft-footed, dulcet or fortissimmo (sp?). I do, however, take ironing badly. The unfolding of the ironing board (loud and ratchety) frightens the cat, and I have such difficulty pressing the socks so the creases are just right.

Also, I take iron badly. Keep forgetting, too busy, etc.

Thank you for your kind words. I reciprocate. Your voice consistantly comes through clearly and considerately, and that is an admirable quality.

So, I forgive your minor needling, and take my leave, as I'm keen to view my new video copy of "Diesel & Decibels - Mega Motor Monster Truck Mayhem Xlll: Showdown in the Saddledome", featuring celebrity drivers Alan Thicke and Patsy Gallant.

I just remembered - I think William F. Buckley went toe-to-toe with Woody Allen in that SCTV sketch.
