I always think of being an ugly duckling when I think of swans myself John. Now that I'm much older I realize somewhere along the way I became a swan. A great win you can be proud of John. Kudos on your win! : )

Thanks Mo, it was an intriguing list of themes. I always remember the line from the poem "In Flanders fields where poppies grow"......
