Thanks, Roberto!! Yours was celebrated just three days ago..........I believe..........and thanks for all the great lessons and individual advice and even the fun and upbeat banter..........I always figure at this point in my life it's not worth waiting until New Year's Eve or whatever to acknowledge positive influence. We've all had our life's rain these last few years...........sometimes I believe we're stuck in a monsoon but it's good to take stock occasionally in the positive things in life even though they do seem to get harder and harder to uncover!! Small......Positive things or favors.....like the temps in the Vermont/New Hampshire area lately have been even more stifling that deep in the heart of Texas!!

It was a hot 4th in the mid-Atlantic.  Another year older, hopefully another year wiser.
