Preben,

Thanks.  Sometimes I mistake my left hand for my right,  compose a
negative phrase with its binary complement, and pick up the wrong
water glass at a formal dinner.   I am standing on the threshold
of senility,  so I should more carefully edit my love letters to Ada before
sending them across the electronic meadow for all to read.
