Careful, Mark.

Ed doesn't like French words.  He may not spot it without the accent 
marks.  Too bad you missed the interchange regarding the wonderful word 
"Walla".

Well, I was fortunate in that I put myself on their list at a time when they were refurbishing the docks ... which meant they weren't assigning any new people slips as they opened up.  Apparently, it was at least a year's worth of time that they weren't assigning anyone slips.  Recently, they started assigning slips again, and even though I was something like number 90 on the list, they apparently quickly went through the list as most people ahead of me had found dockspace at other marinas in the intervening time.

Then I saw the Rhodes at the Annapolis Boat Show and I realized it was exactly what I needed ... and so here I am, bothering all of you fine people with my naivete!
