I'm sure the dogs appreciate it...

Did you know St. Francis is the only saint who is known by his nickname?
His given name was Giovanni. He was the son of a rich merchant, who
traded with France. Giovanni spent so much time in France that they
called him the equivalent of "Frenchy", and the name stuck. :)

Btw, don't remember if I thanked you for your patient responses. I think
you've answered all my questions (and I don't think I have any
outstanding to you), and I've greatly enjoyed our conversation. Looks
like this one's winding down, but I didn't want it to end without
letting you know that it's been much appreciated.

No problem. If I'm ordained Deacon some day, I'm going to have to
develop patience. You're helping me with that. Thanks. :)

Oh, let me help! Please let me help! ;-)

You *have* helped. Now that Paul Cook is on hiatus, You, Ted and my
Schnauzer puppy are the top three (not necessarily in that order). :)

Yay! I'm helpful!

Ah, shit.
Now I have that damn voice in my head!

A BIG honourable mention. ;-)
