will read the poems later when I get home

Thanks, Budro! But it's an old icon, from earlier last year. I am wanting a new one but -- sans camera -- I'll have to wait to enlist the help of Joe and/or Patrik and company.

>with a sponge for a brain. and a mop for a heart: he'll soak up your love

>but lie down with the dogs. with the hounds with the curs. with the mutts

More, more, more!
