Thanks, everyone! What a busy weekend!!!!! As I've gotten older, I've realized that what I always enjoy most for my birthday is the fact that Christmas is OVER!

The whole holiday weekend was great, many of you don't know that my 83 year old mom is in a nursing home in the later stages of Alzheimer's. My siblings and I had a GREAT visit with her on Saturday. We sang Silent Night to her and there were many flashes of recognition. I've got 4 sisters and this was the first time in over 3 years that all 5 of us were in the same place/same time. It was a really special day that I'll always remember. An old friend from high school (whose BD is 12/18) and I are getting together for dinner tomorrow night, which is becoming an annual thing, so it really is all good. Another fine gift is this forum, which I truly enjoy, even though I don't post much, but I'm getting there!
Thanks again,
John
