Yes, I'm back!! Wounded, lacerated, but intact!
My buddy Howie says you guys are too tough and that you shouldn't beat up on the old boy - he may be right, but a knight never walks away from a battle! I see that Joanna has jumped ship for poor Mark's collection - that's okay too - the real harem lives on! I hope Mark appreciates just what he's getting and that all of his shots are up to date.
Kimmi, Sheri, Suzanne, Ngaire, Claudia M have all been magnificently silent - I know they're laughing themselves into histerics about this brouhaha I seem to have fallen into! I want to thank Chip for his support - when we finally meet, the drinks are on me!! I know you won't impose like Denise, who is dreaming of my credit card and all those non-payments it's going to make!

The Sheik rides again!!!
