D...I agree, and trust me, I am the slowest slowpoke around these 
days, you couldn't *pay* me do anything at 100mph...As a very fat 
blues singer put it in a song
"I'm built for comfort not for speed" LOL
Maybe I'll turn it up in a few months, or years :)
Since I spent took off all the polyurethane sealant off the handle 
it is staying right where it's supposed to. Took 20 minutes of 
sanding :)

D...I love when the leader of a pack of sledgehammering fools uses a 
word like "Hitherto". It's so incongruent :)

D...Yes, it is great, I love it! I have even created 2 variations 
and one completely new move to add to your list, if your cats ok 
them...
Check it out.
They are called
1. "Plunge the Toilet Before it Floods"
2. "Jack and Jill Went up the Hill" (aka Fetch the Water)
and, my own special move, geared towards improving balance:
3. "Standing Crane that Cannot Fly"

Sound intriguing?
Thanks for monitoring my SG efforts :)
Love,
Debbie "the Claw of Death" Feder
