Lani Romine <lani_romine@yahoo.com>   Never play with another man's crutches or you will be using a pair some day. Never walk into a room and throw your hat on the bed or you will be laid up there with an injury soon. And I have been around enough years to see both of these happen, first and second hand experiences.      Mike D.
