<DIV>Lorne Doone, eh? Hmm . . . what are our interpretive options here? Does Phil mean Lorna Doone the Nabisco wafer? If so, then I can assure him that they have a remarkably long shelf-life. In fact, pay no heed to that expiration date on the box -- you can dip the cardboard itself in a cup of tea and it will taste much the same. Or does Phil mean Brigadoon, the dreadful 1950s musical starring that awful, beefy, poor man's version of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly? As I recall, Brigadoon was only accessible to strangers once every hundred years or so, and if any of the residents tried to leave, they'd age rapidly and fall to bits. Is this the fate that awaits Mark Seman?</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Don't go, Mark! I take it all back! I don't know about ya'll, but if I were to pass a tall pile of bitter architect dust every time I drove down to Lewiston, I'd probably feel a mite guilty. </DIV></DIV>
