Maury,

You already know that I enjoy your messages on RADSAFE and to be honest (I hope Jeff is not reading this....) the off topic ones. It is well proven, that radiation protection people have also other interest than radiation protection in order to give them a break.

Have you ever tried animals without gravy - simply roasted? I had two days ago roasted lamb with guests from Finland - delicious! Chicken, duck, goose - not acceptable with gravy! 

We call the attitude, not to follow all the recipes of diet specialists by talking about "life quality" - a good, but delicious excuse. The little damage which might or not occur by taking up a little to much fat, proteins, etc. is outnumbered by far by the pleasure gained by eating a delicate menue.  I remember very well, when we had a meeting with our old "Section Head", he used to say, that we should excuse him for a while, because he had to do something for "life quality" -i.e. to go to the toilet.

What I appreciate most of all, taking your health problems into considerations, is, that you still have retained your interests and you have not lost your humour! Keep on going!

Best wishes!

Franz
