    I'm going to try that as soon as we get some chips and some good oranges. I'll come back here and post my impressions.

    Thanks, Russell.

    Read the raisin meditation years ago in " Wherever you go, There you Are"- Jon Kabat Zinn. Hadn't thought of trying this with chips, thanks for the bell.
