A happy little bedtime story

[roccit_53 at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (C Boyko)]

Well, I don't know about any awards. I'd say there are two others who
deserve that more than I do, since they've fretted over my project AND
still have their own to work on (both with Mars boosted Wolfies I do
believe too) Here's hoping that the two of them have a good day of
wrenching on their own rides today without me bugging them. I'm headed out
for Mother's day festivities myself. Wish me luck on that...:)
