I remember back when my phone used to ring at like o-dark thirty in the morning, and whe I answered it (it was my sister calling) nobody was on the other end. It turned out the cat was walking on the phone, and hit the speed dial key to call me - <strong>TWICE!</strong> ~dT.

I was pretty verbose today for a change, cuz I was awakened early (4:30 am!) by AC's cell phone ringing in the center hall... which amplified it enormously. Evidently, there are some kids who have nothing to do but make prank calls with their little electronic toys. So I chattered and chattered away here at the blog until noon, and passed out for awhile. Just like old times, eh? :> But you lost me with your math. The original computations looked okay to me...? Thanks, EdT.

Eighty-four years old</blockquote> Me thinks Mr. Norris needs to get a new battery for his calculator - or else a math tutor! Old math or new, or even "fuzzy", 72+4 != 84 ~EdT.

All is right with the world once more. Well, not exactly. But it is good to see you back in action, anyways. ~EdT.
