thank you very much. i wish you didn't live so far away--or that i had known to look you up when i was working in california last year (tho i was only in LA for a brief stint; i spent most of my time in san diego--actually la jolla--and berkeley). it would be cool to meet up sometime and trade trashy-talk about bland crapids. LOL. i have always called it "bland rapids," but glaucon told me the other day that you call it "bland crapids," and i about peed my pants from laughing. don't know why that's so much funnier to me, but it is.
