As of Thursday, Aug 2, I will be off-line for prolly about a week. That's the day the movers come, and the bad men will snatch Mr Mac from my loving arms. I trust Faldage will keep me apprised of the goings-on here.

I have failed to answer some PMs, and I apologize for that. The dern thang takes too long to load, and I am now in a frenzied packing mode.

I will miss you all. Behave yourselves during my absence

... Happy trails, Avy and Jackie; boa viagem, Marianna -- and JazzO, congrats on your status as "Linguaphile of the Month."
