Thanks for the COLD ones.  I was back east in Maryland for the weekend
visiting my brother and attending the 40th reunion of my class at Johns
Hopkins, far far away from the wealth of microbrews available here in the
Pacific Northwest.

Another hint when doing things like business cards is to create them much
larger than the final printed version making it easier to lay out.  The
printers can scale appropriately given Postscript or PDF files.  I did
pocket size directories for a 1990 AA/Al-Anon convention here in Seattle
where I printed them on 8.5x11 paper on a Xenix system using xroff (a
commercial version of groff).  They were printed on web presses after being
scaled down to pocket size.

they oppress.'' -- Frederick Douglass.
