    We've emailed occasionally. I hit you up a couple years ago about an east coast trip I was taking. Left some blanks in the e address. I have an old address for you that doesn't go through.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hey man, just read your OP...Sorry to hear about your issues. I'm late 60s and thankfully as fit as can be expected but I know only too well that the line between 'well' and 'not well' gets finer and finer the older we get.
    You have to fight it however. Life really is an attitude of mind, so stay positive. It's not over till it's over....We're all thinking of you.....

    Just remember the ides of December are on the 13th, not the 15th.

    Norm,

    Our calendars are at odds.

    but ...
    March =15th
    Dec    ....=13th

    Huh?

    The Roman calculations were a little off on the phases of the moon. Thornton Wilder is another thingy. I have always respected his work. Although, I'd rather eat raw octopus (again) than watch Our Town again.

    Beware the Ides of March. We always get our worst blizzard of the year around this time. Just ask poor Julius Caesar. "Et tu, Brute."
