It ain't just a "Peggy" thing. It's also most emphatically a "Freddie" thing. Hmm, maybe there is some weird association between using a name with a short "e", followed by a double consonant, and then a final syllable with a long "e" sound and the sensation of acrophobia. If anyone can do an intense analysis of that association (using complex computer algorithms, demonic secret symbols, or other crazy stuff from Dan Brown novels), we acrophobes with double consonants in our names would certainly appreciate it. Otherwise, we will not venture out onto the high steel of the bridge and will confine our Sydney highlights to watching the lovely fruit bats return to their posts in the trees at the Botanical Gardens at daybreak.

(That last event is loads of fun, even for people who like to go up on high steel.)

As you might have guessed, Pat & I are still definitely "in" for the cruise, having declined the tempting bump offer. See you'all soon.

Cheers, Fred
