    I certainly don't mind. I'm overdue for a dunking in the security 
    specifications pool. It's gonna havta wait till at least next Monday, 
    though. My plate is overflowing. So much so, in fact that I am not 
    gonna get my treasured grant proposals out on time. sigh. I'll live, 
    but I have to do better at this.
    
    Ciao,
