Speaking of the new web site, I think a little poetry is in order.
Eldorado
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old-
This knight so bold-
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow-
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be-
This land of Eldorado?"
"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied-
"If you seek for Eldorado!"
Poetry provided by Edgar Alan Poe, synicism provided by
Bob (the list jester).

No, we don't have a new stripper yet. It is part of the new website, and will
make its debut when the new website makes its debut. (And before you ask, no, I
don't know when the new website will be deployed.)
HTH, Carrie

I haven't been keeping up with my mail and have done a few mass deletes in
this folder over the past few weeks. Do we officially have a new stripper now
or is this talk about when we do? Thanks.
