Candy,

Lots of things were restored several years ago, and  now they already need it
again (or still need it). In German, a legitimate phrase--"schon wieder noch
mal"= already again still. Which is not to say that Goodspeed is among those,
but even if it were, it would be in good company.

As a Syracuse masonry restoration contractor once said to me (speaking of the
work of other Design and Construction Professionals, of course), "Your shit
is my bread and butter."

Humor (and good taste) Czar,

Ralph
