Hi Donna, Yes, I think you got it right and have hit the nail smack on the
head.  What I meant by "dilettante", by the way,  is someone who is
attracted to something or another but does not necessarily want to get too
deeply involved with whatever it is.  Like me and the "Saturday Opera".  I
love the Opera, specially the Italian Operas, although I don't have a clew
what they are singing about.  I just love the sound of the human voice
soaring to heights of artistic expression.  (and, as davidb kindly
pointed-out to me one time, I probably don't really want to know what they
are actually saying, anyway, as most of it is pretty dumb) It is not
important enough of an issue for me to make the effort to learn Italian.
Hence, I am an operatic dilettante.  To call myself a operatic devotee would
not be accurate.

Meanwhile, there is hardly a day goes by that I do not wonder about you and
your timing light.  How did you make out w/ that?

Best regards,

David
