Anyway, the Italian Bacchus should now be back on schedule.<BR/>EddieEddie Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492020671613766729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-87224030022701052802007-02-10T20:22:00.000-05:002007-02-10T20:22:00.000-05:00I, too, really like that Bacchus cover.
