Thanks Dorine. I'm feeling a lot better, but not ready for the Olympics quite yet.

Seasons greetings to you and yours, and all the best in the coming year.

 The cranes were on the verge of extinction in 1941 — a mere 15 birds could be accounted for. But last week Tom Stehn, whooping crane co-ordinator for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, confirmed that 262 had arrived at the Aransas reserve on Texas's Gulf of Mexico coast and four more were in transit.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20071216.wcranes16/BNStory/Science/?page=rss&id=RTGAM.20071216.wcranes16"><P>
