I recommend it in all seriousness. It is a treasury of lore about owls, and indeed nightingales - though not alas pussycats. Having made a medieval point, I will share a very modern chagrin with you. By a severe reduction in food and strenuous employment of my stoutness exercises, I lost a whole stone (US = 14 pounds)last week. Yesterday I called on a colleague, to be greeted by the exclamation, "Bill - you've put on weight!" The Doctor, obviously not so Supple as I thought. :( ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
