L’Shana Tova to you, too, CKDextHavn, and to everyone else out there! * * * Chaim Mattis Keller [ckeller@schicktech.com](mailto:ckeller@schicktech.com) “Sherlock Holmes once said that once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the answer.

L’Shana Tova to all! If we kind of twisted the two calendars (Jewish and Gregorian) we could say it was already Y2K! Yikes. Hey, it’s 9/9/99 and the world hasn’t come to an end. Imagine that. ---

Hmmm … apples and honey (and several other factors) combine to make a truly kick-ass mead. I knew my people had the right idea with this holiday! ---
