Do you know something about my longevity that I don't? <vbg> Newbridge could not possibly make a turnaround in your lifetime. Larry, you remind me of the the story about the Billionaire that had fraternal twin sons; one a perennial optimist, the other a blackhearted pessimist. He decided to teach them both a lesson. The optimist was locked in a room filled 3 1/2 ft deep with wall to wall horse manure; while the pessimist was locked in a room with the latest and greatest of every imaginable toy. Several hours later, he entered the pessimist's room to find him sobbing his eyes out. Asking why he was so unhappy got the response, "If I play with these toys, they'll break and than I'll have nothing to play with." Disgusted, the billionaire checks in on his other son. He's surprised to see the kid laughing away, having a great time throwing lumps of horse manure over his shoulders first with his right hand, then with his left, ... "What are you so happy about? Don't you know what's in this room?" To which his son replies, "With all this horsesh!t, there's got to be a pony somewhere." ++++++++++++++++++ What is it that makes me think that you never ever have looked for life's ponies?
