I guess from the quick responses that I received, everyone is monitoring the list but no one is talking much. At least everyone appears to be holding their own. Jim, congratulations on the great-grandchild, the live-in grandchild and the raise. It seems you have gotten more than your fair share of good fortune - how about spreading some of that to the rest of us? I know you work hard to help others on their various family lines when you can and sharing your stories and knowledge is a constant source of entertainment and pleasure for a lot of us. I'm a believer in you reap what you sow, and your happiness and good fortune appear to be the results. I hope everyone else is doing as well.

He will be a freshman. We pick him up at his mother's home in Garland, Tx tomorrow. Yesterday was my birthday and I spent 3 hours of it weed-eating at Concord Cemetery while Sue as at the hospital. I get great pleasure working the old family cemetery. Oh yeah, my wife got me that $200 metal detector for my BD. Now I need to read the instructions to get the best out of it. I am also dealing with the IRS about the year 2000 and tomorrow Tom finished up my wife's dental work. She will be grinning from ear to ear. Hey, I also go a nice raise "today". Other than all this, things are normal.
