  1. Wonderful possibilities! Can't live without my fur vest. It seems to work with (almost) everything.

  2. I like the Flickr idea (as one of the blogless - man that sounds like some terrible disease, doesn't it!).
    I might need a little technical assistance. Let me know when it's up and if I get stuck I'll send out a call.
    Thanks!
