Yes, we're all fine, and thank you for asking! Have fun at the game. (Hockey is a game!) Speaking of games, does horse racing count as a game? I'm reading, i mean listening to in the car and at the sink, Seabiscuit. A non-fiction book I defy anyone not to be completely fascinated by. Who knew that horseracing, and its history, were so astonishingly interesting? Every single person here will love that book.

The related posts that I saw seemed only to suggest he might consider a law suit. Someone was easily impressed I guess. Actually, all I did was point out to a corporation that in my opinion they were were violating the contract I had with them, and I expected them to comply with the terms of our contract. Apparently they agreed I was right about contract, and decided to comply with it without further ado. I guess some people believe that if you have a contract with a company and a third person doesn't want you to enjoy its benefit, you should just say to the company, fine, violate my rights. Interesting that many of those people probably are supporters of the ACLU when it threatens to sue companies for violating the rights of consumers, and many probably support federal regulation of companies that abuse individual rights. But that seems to change when they disagree with the person whose rights are violated. Guess it depends which side of the fence you're on whether you think individuals should stand up for their rights or not.
