I haven't, but maybe I should. :-)  I'm no artist, but I have wanted to 
try out a pressure-sensitive pad for various things as well.  Wacom is 
supposed to make pretty good ones, wonder if there's someone locally who 
has one I can try out....

Ugh, no - I do have my limits. ;-)

That makes sense.  Actually sounds kinda like a calzone, but deep-fried.

Yeah, they used to, but had a problem with their supplier.  The fish was 
pretty good, but after their original place was torn down, they went into 
too much debt in the new location.  A real shame, because the food was 
very good.

Not as good as we had in Hastings (but it's hard to get really fresh fish 
here in the desert - not impossible, but it's very pricey), but still 
very good.
