I’m going to quit this one.  After London there’s just no way.  Your med strategy is darn tough.

flip sides and try again?

[Whackamatt]

Sure, we can flip sides and try again.  I would go as low as a bid of +14, however.  If you’ll agree to the 14 I can be the Allies.

[variance]

ok.  where youwant your $14?
