Every time you give a dog a chunk of pizza crust you shorten your term in Hell by 100 years.

It's not so much that it is so much as it is that it is so.

A tit i' th' hand's worth a pair i' th' blouse.

    Stephen and Pat, thanks for the birthday wishes! Believe me, they are most welcome. I did get a couple very interesting pieces. We bought the damascus Russian hunter off A.G. Russell's collector's website, and then just today I found a real Balinese kris in decent condition at, get this, a garage sale! In fact, I may have some questions for the group about the kris once I've finished studying up on it.

    Its funny. I'm 62 today, but I don't feel a day over, oh, 61 or so.

    That is just fine.  Even if I sell my extra I may still know who has one.  Just let me know
