Hi. I'm trying to stay around but it isn't as easy as it was before.

Have a consulting position? That's great. Your time on-line here must be getting tight as well. Speaking of new-fangled technology, my wife got clocked with a virus last week. No matter how many times my son and I told her to back-up and not open e-mails she lost an astrology book she was writing as well as a ton of records for the national astrology association she is an officer of. That was one tough couple of days. Took the kid several days to get her computer back together. She lost everything on it though.

I had been trying to get her off Earthlink and onto DSL but all her correspondence has the Earthlink address. Anyway, it seems Earthlink must sell their database names or something. Everyone I know who has ever had it gets swamped with sex e-mails and other ads. Possibly one of those had a virus, and when she responded to the request to be deleted from the list she may have downloaded the attack. You's like to find one of these guys and break every finger on both their hands.

A Paint the Table conference sounds good. Hard for me to fit it in but I'll see what I can do. I have a golf trip to the Ol' Sod coming up in May. Combine that with Killer's trips and it's a packed season.

Killer sprained his ankle badly in January and that put a halt to his HS season. The back-up went on to win state prep champ and placed second nationally. That probably ticked him off a tad. Anyway, he won an off season District tournament a couple of weeks ago. We are heading up to the Great Lakes for a regional qualifier on Thursday. He has a regional in Maryland next week and he was selected for a NJ team that's practicing for a shot at the Nationals in July/August. They practice down in Princeton so there is another long trip every few weeks.

He is getting bigger as well. He was getting his head handed to him every week by some Russian nationals each week at New York Athletic Club so he got angry and started eating better, along with working out at a gym 3X a week. Last I heard he was starting to knock the Russians around a little so he is coming along. If he stays healthy he should have a good Senior year.

Any April Fool jokes around?
