Hi guys, I started the layout party and then disappeared off the planet. I felt guilty about that however I received a call from a hospital about my mother that seemed insignificant. The insignificant event turned "bad" and eventually my mother died. I was living in her place on Vancouver Island at Qualicum Beach. Being in her 80's, she never did take to computers so I was without internet access so I was running "in the dark" so to speak. I will be around for about a week then gone for a couple of weeks. Everything should be back to normal in September. And to make matters more difficult, in the midst of my difficulties my old computer quit so even when I came home, I had no internet access here. So its good to be back, and I'll do some catch up reading.
