To say I am truly humbled would be a gigantic understatement. Thanks, old (well some of you are not so old)friends. I sincerely appreciate the comments and the well wishes. Eighty is not so old. Heck, if Bobert keeps eating his Wheaties, and stops drinking beer, he might make it too when that time comes.

I did have a truly great day. Cindy took me to lunch at The Stockyards, a restaurant in Phoenix that is almost as old as I am and it was super. Last night it was dinner at my step-daughter's home and on the 20th, my daughter is having a party for the whole family. I'm sure she would be happy to include all my Mudcat friends should you be around at the time. I'd certainly be glad to see you.

Thanks again,

Doug

P.S. This doesn't mean, however, that I want Obama's healthcare overhaul to pass. :>)
