Fixing up the palms was on my to do list too.  But you got it first!!!! 
Will you replace them in the current IMWA or wait until the ISWA is 
released?  That had to have been a lot of work!!!

I still haven't got any feedback from the Golden Rule I wrote.  I'm sure 
it's full of mistakes and would LOVE to know what I can improve.  So if 
you are anyone else wants to take a look at it in June or July, I would 
be very pleased.  It did take a lot of time and effort because I tried 
to get the facial expressions too.
