I've been away for 5 days, with very little contact here, and now that I am back in Tucson, I figured I needed to catch-up on a few things...

First off, my sincere condolences to the family of Ed Badger, aka: Ebad. For those of us that have been here for a while all know that Ed was a part of TheChipBoard tapestry, both as Ebad and in his own name. May he Rest in Peace.

Thank you Ross Poppel for the Happy Anniversary greeting you posted last Sunday for Pam and myself. I can keep track of the number of years because they coincide with the number of years marking the anniversary of The King's death! (And Ross, sorry for standing you up. I was hoping to visit either the Monte Carlo or tyhe Silver Saddle and after 5 days in Vegas, I did neither one! )

I've a bunch of emails I need to catch-up on, as well as complete some in-progress trades.

Geez, I miss this place when I am away!!

Jim
