Thanks, Bill. I think it will help ogda to have your opinion. You know men and women can speak different languages sometimes And you do know I value your opinion

Sorry about the hat, but if you promptly tell on the culprit your wife will forgive the loss and get you a new one. There is nothing we will not forvige to our not-quite-yet-three-year-old children

I am glad you continue to make progress. Enjoy your weekend with the kids and do not bring a live elefant home just because 'it followed us.' Your W might have a change of heart about separate houses if she has to feed and clean a pachyderm into the bargain. Yes, I know, I know: the kids promised they would do it themselves... and you believed them
