I can keep going or I can let the next person in line go. I don't know if I can top (or even come close to) the last few. I may have to go more "normal." I'm home for just a bit --- check email, etc. Then it's back to work til 6:00. I can get a thread going after 8:00 tonight, however. Well, I don't know about you..... but I've been accused of a lot of things in my time. Being normal, however, was never one of them !!! Do your thing, bhogg !! We'll wait.
