Thank you Mike for your advice. I will definitely heed your advice. I don't know what's up with my females lately but there are two others that act rather mean to their males. Sorry I could not come to Atlanta for the conference this year. I really wanted to see you and listen to your lecture. An unfortunate scheduling problem involving my in-laws. Maybe next time. Someone mentioned Cincinnati? Do you have a speaking engagement there in the near future? My husband and I have many friends there that we haven't seen for a long while. I can easily find excuses (beside a fish conference) to go up there for : ) Not that I really need any excuse for seeing the Wise man of the list, though.
