Woohoo!  Congrats Cathy, you've worked long and hard on that goal, and
it's great to see that you've finally made it.  I know I have told you
this (at least once before) but your progress on this project has been
amazing, and your determination unfaltering (well, OK, maybe it did

on anything at this point - you deserve a big virtual pat on the back
(and a whole bunch of beers!)

Sigh, there's that cosmetic stuff getting in the road of real work again.

You're not the only one!  Now if I could get the complimentary colour
rolling, we'd be laughing.
