Kate,

TRUE!

I don't remember the hot dogs. It's been so long! I vaguely remember them
as plain.

It was just about on the food horizon before I would dare add mustard,
relish, ketchup, onions or anything else to a hot dog. That probably better
explains plain. <VBG>

I don't think there was actually anything wrong with them, rather myself!

I survived on Smokehouse hamburgers (no cheese!) and IHOP pancakes drowning
in butter.

Best,

Andy
