One point you made is definitely true...the further away from good 'ol New Yawk City...the lousier the pizza! New York has some of the best Pizza in the USA...BUT...you gotta know where to buy it! In my day, I could make 4 slices disappear in less than ten minutes...and that's a NYC-size pie....not these phonograph record-size pizzas! Isn't "Gluttony" one of the Deadly Sins? I will roast for sure! Frank

Im very glad to here that your palms survived the winter. I hope you get some pics up because I'd love to see how they look. Just upload them onto your computer, then upload them to photobucket (you will have to make a free account if you havent already) and then post the link on your message here (their are 4 links available for each picture, copy and paste the 3rd link. My palms have been uncovered for a month now (with the exception of 2 or 3 cold days 2 weeks ago) and they did well. Forecast looks good for our area, but still a little below average overall (maybe about average). The street trees (bradford pears mostly) are a week from blooming and my camellia should begin to bloom at the same time. Good luck! -Alex

Post some photos if you can Tony. Dave
