Norah & Sandpiper:

Thanks a lot. I'm the same way. I do that with movies as well. Just because Ebert gives a film two thumbs up doesn't mean that I'll like it at all. I have to believe that my true customers will feel that way too.

I delivered a great speech today at my mother's Newcomer club. There were over 60 people there and I talked all about hip replacement and sold five books on top of the honorarium that I received :-) That made me feel better!

Happy new year everyone and many, many thanks for the warm words and encouragement.

Sigrid
