Thank you. (You can't see me right now, but I assure you I am grinning like the happiest person in the world, which I may be.) One of the nicest things about this whole process has been the wholehearted approval from the panel of people I consider to be experts on Ciro (of whom you are certainly one).

I wish I could take credit for the "cocktails out of ice and water" line, but it is Frank O'Hara's, from the poem "Animals (http://www.eamonn.com/2005/07/frank_oharas_animals.htm)" - which also contains the line "O you were the best of all my days." And he is.
