Well, we tend toward the informal here, and it's actually Ronn!, not Ronn. :) (Took me awhile to get that, myself.) While Greg Bear got it right the first time . . .

I have that one now, and am going through it once to figure out where I need to start, and then it's a regimen of ab-toning exercises for me every other day for awhile. (And at some point I really ought to start using the Bowflex again; just doing the arm and shoulder exercises for a month will probably do wonders.) So that's a good thing about amazon.com Julia the weirdest amazon.com recommendation was when the system thought I'd like a quesadilla maker because I'd rated the Medela breastfeeding stool... ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
