<p>Heh.  That alert should improve the click-throughs...  Yes Cassie - Oinkery!</p>

<p>Oh - and what's so kewl?  I can tell you this much - it involves an all-expense (well, except for the tequila) paid trip to Mexico for a week in July. Doing a very Armorer-like thing.  But not quite what most of you will expect.</p>

Not a doubt in my mind. Ummmm -- not too many thoughts there, either, for the past few months. But at least I've ducked more ladder-climbing...]]>
