Whoa! Gone for a day and I come back to a boquet of b'day greetings. Thanks, guys! Actually, Carol, my b'day is 12/31, and equally sucky day for a birthday usually. Talk about pressure to have fun! On this one tho, I got the loan of a beautiful bass dulcimer to play around with for a while...the gift that goes on giving! And hip doing OK...I'm walking 1/2 mi/day now and enjoying every minute.
