Oops Brian,

You are so right. Just put that faux pas down to all those years I lived in West Hollywood before moving to San Diego. I still have a lot of "your team" up there that are special friends and they would have a great time ribbing me about the "sashaying faux pas".

Okay, you take the ones that are "sashaying" and I'll take the ones that are "strutting their stuff". Works for me - how about you?

Valerie:D
