HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Muchas gracias mi amigos! It sure made a good day even better logging in here and seeing this thread.

Dr. K - I'm one step ahead of ya! Already got the ol' exam (and it wasn't as dreadful as I expected.)

MD - I like your assessment of the forties being the " 'teens' of middle age"

RF - I love the shot and I think it is so cool that you did that just for me...cheers my friend! (Might have to make that a new avatar :-)

Breyton - I even posted my pic in profile...and it's really me!

And to everyone else - thank you.

Mike
