Thanks, Raven, for your most interesting update on monks. Good to know a sense of humor prevails so we would not be offending any of the good brothers with a CH moderate monk on our shirts. But..no hood? I'm disappointed. However, I would certainly not want to be accused of being behind the times regarding monk attire so we can go with a hoodless monk who is moderate about hot peppers. And...I know perfectly well that OUR monk will accomplish great things by moving the moderate cause forward and letting people know you don't have to eat the extreme heat to be a true CH. I sometimes think the true CH spirit has little to do with the pod itself. It seems the vast majority of people I've 'met' on this list are kind and generous, intelligent and giving, fun and can laugh at themselves. Now...do those qualities lead you toward peppers or do pepper bring out those qualities in a person? Chicken or egg? Hope life is good in Santa Fe this Christmas season. I enjoyed it so much last year and took your advice about going downtown to see the fariolitos. Beautiful! SandyO
