Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> the only objection I've heard so far in the echo was to the beer   
    NB> (and it wasn't even me)   
      
   True.  However I am willing to bet that it'll change once it gets going and   
   they - whoever they are - will complain about the lack of tolerance for the   
   daily dose of yet another bottle being taken down and passed around no matter   
   what the beverage is, although I am probably going to leave the current   
   program as is which is beer.   
      
    NB> Besides, it's really a count up song, as the numbers get larger,   
    NB> not smaller   
      
   It was just an example and as if yet I can't come up with anything better.   
      
    NB> Oh, well... do as you wish   
      
   I usually do but in this case I was hoping to spread the blame for the   
   inevitable grief which should start in roughly 81 days.  As far as Little   
   Mikey is concerned it is still on (Sept 24th) and it is 100 days of counting   
   down bottles of beer.  Little Mikey is indifferent but will faithfully do it's   
   part once it starts.  As they say, you can count on it.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
