Thanks, Linda. Now I know what I want for Christmas...The Black Bird under
the tree and Spade and Brigid in it. Dinner at John's Grill. Are you
listening, Santa?

What other goodies would be good under the tree (besides, of course, the
usual books, videos, CD's, etc.) Any other really fun stuff out there?

Oh, by the way, Linda, a taco?
