Nice segue.

BTW I'm impressed by your spelling, Dave!

You're very kind to say so, but I'll come clean and admit that the first
bunch of times I saw that word in print I wondered what the heck a segg was...

Okay, then I'll admit the first several times I heard "segway" (on morning
shows I watched while hanging out waiting to give birth to the
eleven-pounder) I thought it was just some tv jargon.  I didn't
associate it with the print word, which I assumed was pronounced "seeg",
and whose definition I simply glossed over.
