Chuckle, we have that in common then Ward, I was a Doc Smith fan, then 
eventually Heinlein.  I think I have everything Heinlein ever wrote.  Great 
stuff.  I was also reading by the time I started hiking 2 miles to a little 
one room school, but I didn't get exposed to the Doc till a couple years 
later.  But that almost half a century remark means I have 2 decades on you.

Oh, and keep us posted about the eatery, I'll want someplace where a diabetic 
can get something to order if I ever get up in that neck of the woods, 
something I've not done yet, seems like I always get stuck just west of 
Ithaca NY when we head north.  The better half has an older sister, and a 
niece in the milk business there.
