Ron-
Darn, it is good to see your ever-pleasant profile on the screen! I have been concerned about the extremely nasty weather that the UK has been experiencing and wondering about you, Margaret, the various members of the brood, and "not to mention, the dog." I have written a time or two with out reply but with a bit of uncertainty as to which number is the proper choice.

I finally gave you up for dead, I must admit, until I compared our respective avatars or user photos and saw that you look better than I do. So, I decided to blame Mother Nature. Until recently that was a pretty safe bet but, I swear, have you guys been shooting at Druids or something? Every time I look at the Times it looks as though Odin himself is coming and heading straight for Selling.

Then again, maybe I should postpone the daily news fix until after dopamine parity is reached or something.

I have a bit of catching up to do and will continue via PM this evening. Seriously, though, it is good to know that you still walk the earth although it might be more accurate to say that you "swim" the earth now...
