Gee, Ed, I can understand how you might have taken Mbo's msg the way you did, but I'm also sure that he was just joking. Sometimes brainfarts have lumps too. I mean, it might have been 'Spaw, and then you might not have ever come back. Relax and enjoy the banter. It's usually well intended, but on rare occasion somebody creeps in with malicious intent. Not this time, though. When it does happen, the whole fam damily usually climbs on them. When ever I find myself alone or lonesome on a significant occasion, I usually have a wee chat with trusted friends, like 'Ole Art Guiness, John Jamesons or Johnny Powers. Usually perks me right up. Hope you enjoy the changing of the calendar, regardless of whom you do or don't spend it with.
