Yikes!  That picture (on the left) is from my days in the Federal Witness
Relocation Program.  Now that I am out and have found a good barber, I look even
more like David Seaman.  (One of us is a lucky guy)!  However, David and I are
two separate and distinct persons.  The only thing that we _DO_ share is that we
are both _GOAL_ oriented:-)

Andy, thanks for the _BIG_ laugh (and the constant small bouts of snickering
that are keeping Westateers in the neighboring offices wondering)!

I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!

 Of course, all of these opinions and insights are my own, and do not
 reflect those of my organization or my associates.
