I wasn't lookin' for sympathy; but, it sure was nice to get it. I always felt there was something honourable about falling on one's sword, but I never thought tripping onto it was dignified. Thank you. I felt so embarrassed about it all that I really didn't know what to do. Thank you for your many kind words. The people I've had the good fortune to meet on the 'cat have been a blessing to me, and I didn't want to have a 'shadow' hanging over me from yesterday (probably a good song in there), and I no longer feel I do. Y'all are responsible for that. I owe ya, and I won't forget it.
