It's better late than never, they say. I finally have time to go back and read a few contest winners. I definitely did NOT want to miss out on this one. I know it has been awhile, but your dialect deserves praise!!! Congratulations, Kenny, are still in order for your success in Deborah's dialect contest. Very creative! Smiling, Dane
