Thanks, Ed, for your holiday contribution. I just wondered how many of the readers recognized the song you quoted and remembered who sang it? It was Kermit. Hence . . . it's not easy being green! It's a wonderful little song with a lot of meaning. --Linda :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Linda R. Thompson, Ed.D.
