Dean, your martini has landed. My takeaway is "don't knock the anchovy daiquiri until you've tried it."On the flip side: Fille de Pablo plus Dean's signature in 3-D goo...(scanner friendly, so far) Thank you, Dean.(As a pedant I have to tell you, Dean, that you are not authorized to spell unautherized that way. I will have to report you.)…See More

It was, according to the fairy tale within, a disembodied head, nameless, who mourns his inability to shrug (no shoulders, no shrug).Anyhow I wanted to make my glancing vision come to life so I put Ray…See More
