Lovely magazine, nicely printed. http://www.zoom-net.com/common/us/home.htm Also I hope you enjoyed the SonC postcards. Sorry the fanfare was not as great as the Glamour contest, but I am sending Vanna up to Canada to personally smooch you, Please make sure your lovely wife is away from the house Wednesday at 4pm.
