My comment:

On the Italian cooking show that I watch on public television, the chef always says "calamari", even though she speaks English most of the time.

Thanks Bertrand. Hope the weather is good in French Polynesia. I enjoyed a Belgian-style beer on an outdoor deck overlooking the Vermilion lagoons on Lake Erie this afternoon, after several hours of proofreading and revisions. The weather and view was picure perfect.
