Sorry for the sparse posting, but being on call and celebrating your oldest's seventh birthday will do that to you. As a result I've been essentially disconnected. I'll try to get to some of the more 'urgent' matters shortly - remember, patience is a virtue.
By the way, I'm very proud of my daughter today. (Actually I'm pretty proud of her everyday.) She had a birthday party with 18 of her friends and relatives, and when the party was being arranged she told her parents she wanted the guests to bring donations for the American Red Cross instead of presents. Today? No regrets from her at all.
Yeah, I'm biased, but I think she's pretty special.
