I have been rather ill for a few months and have been in the hospital twice. I am well on the mend now, though I found out yesterday that I have cataracts in both eyes, so I'll be spending the winter having my lenses replaced by JSK glass (just kidding -- the replacement is a plastic lens).
And to top it all, my computer went on the fritz in February and I am only slowly breaking in the new one.
I do follow list traffic, however, so keep up the discussions! Marc
