Hi Paul: a clever metaphor hidden in this gem, Paul: I left you a Soupmail regarding the Haikoum Form. I posted one too, a little while back - Siesta Key Haikoum. If you leave me your mailing address I can mail you a copy of the form- setting out the sequences to follow, I don’t go to Facebook anymore.Cheers, SuZ
