Hi Adam -
It is wonderful to see you on videotape! And thank you for this  
question. So you feel that your movement is different than Cherie's?  
smile...I see them as similar. Cherie's travels a little more, is a  
little larger than your movement, but yours is certainly similar, but  
a smaller version of the same...however, I am going to try to create  
my own tiny video in PhotoBooth and maybe I can explain what I  
mean...smile...I look forward to posting it soon - Val ;-)
