    What is your definition of shortly? I've been on pins and needles all day waiting for this. This is like a cliffhanger mini-series (stay tuned for previews of next weeks show).

    Kathy, Gil and Dave: sorry about leaving you hanging! I was side tracked with the website yesterday. I promise it will be posted tonight.

    (Dave, the whole cliffhanger mini-series nonsense really frustrates me--I didn't mean to have you on pins and needles.)
