Look as if a lot got accomplished in the short period that I was
sleeping. Good to see.
I'll be out and about for the next week. This weekend I'd be glad to
help edit/organize/whatever is needed if it's not already done.
Before I take off I'd like to apologize for my hasty attitude with
Rick, I think I could have shown more constraint when posting.
See you all Saturday.
