john,

the booze theory doesn't correlate or every irishman and scot i know would have cancer. my dad was a heavy smoker and drinker yet lived to 86 and died from kidney damage from a fall in a nursing home. i seriously doubt that they have found the true cause yet. why can two people, one 'clean' living get it while his 'dirty' living twin brother escapes it? do countries with highest alcohol consumption have a correspondingly high cancer rate? i think not.

going back to my spoiling and pampering, 8 student aide trainees this weekend. 'scuse me.

to be continued...

btw, they booked a piano player/singer here on wednesdays who'll knock and rock your socks off. plays a combo of floyd cramer/jerry lee lewis. gets these old flatulents movin' i'll tell ya. problem is keeping him sober. he's a 'no show jones' half the time.
