Hi, All.  I've got a question for you.  I've been legally blind as far
back as I can remember, so when I heard the term, "blink", I thought it
was a good label for me, so I adopted it.  However, I'm not totally
blind, and since I heard the term, "wink", I'm wondering which I be.  Be
I blink, or be I wink?  It doesn't matter, really; I still can't see
worth a plug nickel, but I want to get the terminology right.  <GRIN!>
Anybody got a definition for "wink"?

Hope everybody had a nice bunch o' holidaze, and that y'all have one
bodacious year to come!

     Tom
