Mrs. Callan just made a pronouncement of something that indicated that she didn't think our correspondence on this topic was important...I'm not sure exactly...I wasn't paying attention.  Obviously she does not use the equine and dimensional lumber approach with me and fortunately she is fairly selective about what I MUST pay attention to.  Meanwhile, this conversation has taken some fascinating detours...but I'm not sure I know what its about anymore.  I would ask Mrs. Callan...but I don't want to draw attention to myself.  Maybe Ralph should ask Mrs Ralph...he's not afraid of anyone!
