Thanks el. Sheesh, I haven't been here for months and you remember my politics? Pretty impressive. Of course, how long has it been since we hammered the nails into the boards of the original porch? 5 years? more? can't remember. Yes, splits are difficult. 15 years. But there is no choice but to move on. Thank you for your thoughtful and caring comments. Have a great thanksgiving. Ex

LeP, there are friends here too. good ones! ...if you don't talk politics or religion. <VBG> Amazing how politics and religion can become so personal so quickly. One of my wife's uncles passed away last year. He and I were polar opposites politically, but when we would visit him during his multi-year cancer and diabetes battle, he and I would watch the political talk shows, bicker with (and taunt a little bit) each other, then have a good laugh about it. It took the rest of her family quite a while to believe that we both enjoyed the jawboning; my wife's mother never really got comfortable with it, which made for some pretty funny scenes. When we got right down to it, he and I just liked hanging out together. I miss that guy a lot, particularly during the holidays. How've you been? jpg
