Hmmmm. Makes me wonder -- did Sethra and ... I don't remember Vlad's first incarnation's name ... have something between them, and if so, does Sethra still feel echos of that, in essence have a low-line desire for Vlad? Interesting; I hadn't thought of that angle. I'd be willing to bet that Steve hadn't thought of it either, but that's mostly because I'm no longer in Las Vegas -- which means he can't actually take me up on the bet. ;) And having lived in both LV and Florida (Ft. Lauderdale, right now), I can honestly say that Las Vegas is worse. In regards to the 'dry heat' comment, my reply is thus: 'An oven is a dry heat. Go turn your oven up to 450 and stand in front of the open door for a couple hours, see how YOU like it.' Felix Eisen aka Thomas Crain
