and kind thoughts. This was one of the best presents I have ever received. I painted the town red. That took all of 15 minutes, and wore out my magic marker. I got hurricane backwash for my birthday.

I wish I had found DU earlier, but better late than never. I spent most of my time since 2000 holed up like a 'coastwatcher.' I had plenty of people to argue with by email. They were my relatives.

Whenever things got sideways, my Mama always said, "This too shall pass." I always answered her by saying, "Why does it have to feel like a kidney stone?"

Thanks again. This was a pleasant suprise.
