Ditto, Lou. We love to hear what's going on with you. If you don't feel like talking about the R, then tell us what else you're up to. Glad you found a C. It helps to have someone IRL to talk to and who supports you.

Whatever you want from us at this time, you've got it: feedback, just listening, repository for jokes and science stories, random rants and vents-- you name it. We love you.

And besides, when you're gone, I'm the oldest one here! Yikes!

My car is in the shop getting the window replaced so I'm at BF's house without a car. But there's a COMP USA within walking distance, so maybe I'll wander over and look at printer cartridges and think of you.
