I guess you've seen the pictures, oh well. In any event thanks for the plug 
- I take great pride in being "not as grumpy as some of the others".   ;-)

Speaking of Frappr, I refused to "join" and give them my contact info so I 
have been unable to move my pushpin from the slightly inland spot where it 
landed. While it's a couple of miles from where we keep the boat it's only 
about 1/2 a mile from the new house. Surprise, surprise.
