Mark,

Thanks for the FYI. You should in a taste test group!

I nose around sometimes but have settled into my routine favorites. Some have
come and gone faster than I'd hoped.

TJs used to mail me their "Fearless Flyer" but not in a year or so. No
matter, the on-line Acrobat version is "greener" and I don't need reading
glasses to read through their embarrassingly cheesy layout and design!

Best,

Andy
