Why not - it's to hand.<br /><br />best<br />FFrancine Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326542867876257042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042906897152963913.post-68176198173026105262010-07-04T08:13:51.091-07:002010-07-04T08:13:51.091-07:00Apparently my word counts were off...it's clos...Apparently my word counts were off...it's closer to 120K now :(<br /><br />@Dawn I need to do both...cut and and enhance what's leftAndrew Rosenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215333688753781447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042906897152963913.post-27701605301288773372010-07-03T18:26:54.805-07:002010-07-03T18:26:54.805-07:00Good luck.
