<< hough I will still be reading my email from time to time,  I'll probably
 ignore most of them,  as I will be chasing roos (kangaroos for us yanks)
 trying to get milk samples,   and trying to understand these Australian
 idioms,  such as "Take the key out of the lock" which means in American,
 "kicking the bucket".    Where do these Aussies get such expressions !!!

 I'm just joking guys,  I just can't wait to get out of this Texas heat and
 into some nice snow and meet some sweet Australian LCs.

 So, until mid August...

Tom,
Your image as a staid, no nonsense, clinician/researcher has been irrevocably
altered!  You really would be a fun guy (not just an interesting one) at a
conference.  Have a great time.  We'll attempt to muddle through without your
pearls of wisdom for a short time.
