Thank you Jill for your very sweet comments. When the Michigan DBers roadtrip to ND we can play a game of VB. Seeing as I have a five bedroom house that most of the time is only filled with me, two cats, and a small dog, I should have room for the group.

And to UD PPPhhht!!!!

I cannot believe that you would say such evil comments about me (or is it...I can't believe it took you so long to realize I'm full of it). Don't come attacking me like cobra. BTW the sand comes direct from the edge of the Missouri River. So there!

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
