My heart goes out to you Nonny. I feel your pain (ala Bill Clinton).
I like to think I'm in shape because round is a shape. However
TFM® says my shape is more reminiscent of a sucker stick with
an M & M stuck to the middle. I am reluctant to argue the merit
of that observation, lest it drag on like a frivilous dialog about
the merit(s) of saltpeter vs tenderquick for brining.

I served up Butternut squash, Brown gravy, Fried Ham, Collard
greens and Red Beans for lunch yesterday. Tonight I plan to
put out grilled NY steaks, baked potato w/butter and sour cream
and green beans. There will always be crusty Italian bread and
whipped butter.

Christmas day will see Braised beef roast with garlic slivers, baked
ham, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, Mexicorn, green beans,
candied sweet potatoes and homemade banana icecream for dessert.
We'll include a thought for you as we give thanks for our bounty.

And in case anyone is in doubt, this newsgroup is neither dead nor
dying, Kent is still here and he has already outlived some of the folks
that used to feed his dialog.
