Ray,

Those sound like my requirements for a wife. LOL Well..except I didn't have a height requirement. I also included auto mechanic, pilot/with own plane, chef, master brewer, computer programer, accountant, financial investor, swim suit model, and fitness instructor. If she met all of those, I figured I could hire a maid.  ;o)))
