Hi Stephen, Thanks, and yeah, the body is kind of billowy and noisy - I got a very 'noisy' tooth right now. I know whenever I've had ultrasounds (is that the same as a sonogram?) that they often look like those moving, heaving weather maps. And, yeah, a lot of bad weather coming in from the right, there and here and elsewhere. There are some days I don't want to watch the weather map, because you don't need it to know which way the wind blows. Best, Jill > Yes, Jill, I like this, too.
