Wow!! I'm breathless!!
That four hours in the reclining char--I love your sense of humor!!--really
rested and energized you--or was it the anesthetic the dentist used?
I'll add all these to the being-scanned/validated list later--and I guess
rather than keeping that list in alphabetical order henceforth 'll just put the
new stuff on the top of the list. If anyone is thinking of scanning sonmethng
he/she can do a search and if the book is on the lst it will show up no matter
where on the list it is. I think I'll start to do the same with the Wish List,
too.
