I did say much ado about "little" because I knew someone would post the above. The way I look at it, if we [the collective we] don't mind handing over the keys to the house, sounds funny to whine about the way they've rearranged the furniture in the living room! Much ado about very little. Also Doc, I've heard of champagne, I've heard of basmati...but I've never heard of any of those 3 things except the sari and only because my mom loves saris.
