Thanks! I had always worried about this. I haven't been sleeping all that well; maybe your post will help.

Nor did I, and yet I lacked the courage to type that until I read your post. ;-) It was a part of my education that was unattended to and Mr. Hood came across to me from the murky young childhood years as being the stuff of myths only.

Hmmm ... wonder if that's where we get the term, "hoodlums"?
