rick, you're the menschmeister! i'm still going through all those pipes and stuff that you sent. love the meershaum, btw! always wanted a meer.
it's weird-- i'm 3/4 sicilian and 1/4 native american, and a good portion of that sicilian is also spanish jew (my great grandmother immigrated from spain to sicily)... and yet i look freakin' irish or something! lol (well, until i get a tan, that is) :)
