Thank you! I'm just asking for my own curiosity, so definitely don't bother your friend while he's sick :) And thanks for the information about union suits! I hadn't even heard the term before, but it's good to know which country it was native to.

Do you mean my journal? On my computer, it looks like black text on a medium-light gray background, which I find easy to read myself, but I don't know about how it looks to other people.
