Well, I am going to have to leave and come back more often, just to get an Ellmyruh welcome!
Thank you, you made my day :-)

Don't have anything zippy to report, like "started that Palomino farm I always wanted to" or "made (and lost) a million dollars on the net" or even "guess which one I was on Survivor?"

No, actually, I've been trying to heed the advice I gave Don, and put Christ first in my life. It is so easy to become self-focused! Realized I needed to re-prioritize some things, and part of that involved taking a break from the computer for a while. A zippy forum poster would have gone off to meditate in the mountains of Tibet to do this, I suppose. Me, I made it to the Smokey mountains for a couple of weeks and visited with a retired Tennessee school teacher...
no, not Howard :-)
...it was my father-in-law (kind of a scooter-less version of Howard).

So I guess you could call it a little sabbatical to re-focus. And yes, I did think of you too, and many others here. :-)
