thanks shane, my friend will be "more" in love with him after that story. we have a game we play at work where we pick the one person, other than significant other, we could spend eternity with on an island. it has to be a celebrity. hers was always sam elliott. mine-ann-margret. believe it or not, sam elliott got more votes than anyone. mel gibson came in second.
