Nige,
I am in awe.
It is a great honor to read the words of wisdom of a true gentleman.
For 25 years I was a police officer working on boats. And with all of the
law enforcement duties and overtime worked . . . I was NEVER able to
convince my wife that it wasn't JUST BIKINI PATROL.
Well, maybe a little bit . . . sigh.
Bill K.
