If ye canna spell can ye use Pictionary - its a big hit here in L.A. but I bought mine in Birmingham or was it Birnam - anyway....I might be home for World Dance Day on 29th April. I have a paper I'd like to present to the Organising Committee if you don't mind - "My life as a pilot - turbulence as a form of dance"

I'll make sure they present your paper, Cyril. I'm good at the belly dancing myself. Not as good as Big Maggie Ann, but she has more to wiggle than me. I just have a few bellies of pork.
