Maurice

I'd love to list them but unfortunately I didn't suggest any. I think I 
was making a meta-suggestion.

I might have wracked my brain except Tennessee let me off the hook by 
saying he probably has my original project suggestion(s) from two years 
ago in his email collection. When he said that my mind started to wander 
to other topics - namely that our third grandson was (at lunchtime) well 
on his way. Charlie (3.18kg) arrived a couple of hours later.

I can't help it either so here he is ...
