I snipped a bunch of stuff for brevity, but I just wanted to say that I had a
peek at the catalogue before Deidre even posted yesterday, and I saw the line
about how boys could play with the soccer- err, I mean, football sets, and it
disappointed me. I mean, I really, really hate to sound like a sensitive, new
age guy, but I expected a lot better from the company that put Gail Storm in
the pilot's seat of the Island Hopper.
