Probably. But I'm not getting rid of my wife. It's
pretty hard to find someone who can put up with this
kind of nonsense. :-)
Cheers,

Oh, I wish! No, this is where my son will be going to school.
And unisex bathrooms aside, I wish--fervently--I could be going
with him. :-)

Wow. I was watching a PBS show the other day (Frontline I think) and I saw that one of the
producers was a David Fanning. It would be waaaay too much of a coincidence if that was
you (to say nothing how you've hidden that aspect of your life from the IDL community.)
Good luck in your new pursuits. (And I'm not talking about pajama-clad anyone's here :o)
cheers,

David,
I think you're a couple of weeks late. April *1st* is "April Fools
Day", not the 18th.
But seriously, you jest?
