Ok, ok ... who has a link to a pic of a monkey face eel to put my warped
mind at rest as my imagination is running way ahead of me here :-)

Are they friendly ie like to kiss petite blondes on the forehead before
ripping away in play?

Sounds like you both had lots of fun .. and having met the pair of you I
know who is the bigger kid ;-))

Chilly mussels by any chance John?
Talking of mussels .. sad to say my favourite seafood restaurant is about
to be turned in to a yuppie bar. Harry's Seafood, Bar & Grill restaurant
has been closed & they auctioned off everything. I went down to see who
would bid for the complete Mark V divers suit that we both had our pics
taken in front of when I took you there for a meal. It had been sold
privately so not sure if a historical society got it or if it went to a
private bidder.
