@SantosLHalper: Material costs for a $10 cookie shipped to you would be like $4 tops. So for $10 I could make $6 profit. I think about the long haul.

Murghpfl. Overslept and disappointed with the weather Man, that Utopia track sounded good. Can't go tomorrow (long story) but the West VA show sounds killer. Big fan of many of the performers. Michael C played the title role in the revival of Sweeny Todd and starred as Kurt Weil in a Weil-Lenya bio-musical.
