Mel,
You must travel this way a lot, I believe the last time we spoke you were up this way.
On the barbeque front: speedy's in lexington is no longer pit cooked. It has been Gas :( fired for over a year now. They just use chips for smoke now. The health department keeps putting pits out of business here.
I've been going to the little hole-in-the-wall Smiley's, reminds me of what the bbq stands use to look like.

As far as that hourglass thingy, Just lucky i guess. It got rid of my hourglass, hope it gets rid of yours.

On another front: i've been playing with Linux/wine. I've gotten my codemine application installed on a linux client sharing data with all my other clients via my old NT4 server. It's not that easy, but it can be done.
