... Wow Stan, what do you suggest I put in the cup? Remember it needs to be non addictive. /Roger On the other hand......nothing addictive to a single malt is there? Cheers! I'm partial to a good strong winter ale. I have a case of Long Trail Hibernator to take me through the holidays. And a good 15 year old single malt to back that up. |

You might find some of the better barleywines attractive, too. This Atkins diet is killin' me-- no beer, but as much of the hard stuff as I want. Scott |

From: "Stan Gula"
By accepting this greeting you are bound by these terms that- This greeting is subject to further clarification or withdrawal This greeting is freely transferable provided that no alteration shall be made to the original greeting and that the proprietary rights of the wishor are acknowledged. I have forwarded your greeting to my legal advisors at Dewey, Cheatam, and Howe, for clearance prior to answering. Since they are unlikely to render a decision prior to the Vernal Equinox, let me tentatively wish you an acceptable solstice within the parameters you previously stated. George Adams "All good fishermen stay young until they die, for fishing is the only dream of youth that doth not grow stale with age." ---- J.W Muller |
