    @SheilaCSR: Yup, I did. ;-)

    @Avitable: I be!

    @NWCWD: I’m meh-gnificiant.

    Just last night, my middle boy was asking me about the A-Team (and the theme). I filled him in with what I knew.

    As for me, I’ve been watching Rat Patrol on a regular basis. (Victor was such a young-looking German officer.)
