Thank you MrSb, unfortunately English isn't the mother tongue here, although it is used - sometimes in the abstract - as the "trendy" way of conveying to pax that we are part of the "international scene"...so no harm there.
..CB however, seems to takes a day or so to unwind, after he returns. All for good reason I'm sure [thank JLM we don't have to deal face to face with 'em]
