SMB  - what midterms are you grading?  We used to get some corkers in theater.  The ones I especially enjoy were the ones that seemed written by a very learned person from someone who couldn&#39;t put two sentences together just prior.  Maybe the kicker was that they didn&#39;t think we&#39;d notice the change in writing style.<br />
<br />
Our sky has grown very black, so many the rain is actually coming  It&#39;s 2:30 and I&#39;ve had to turn a light on. Should make laundry interesting tonight (we live in an apartment complex and use the laundry room.  however, after 38 years of marriage, Chris has consented to buy a washer/dryer.  To be honest, I&#39;d never asked for one, but I can&#39;t carry lanudry baskets (or vacuum, mop, mop floors - there is an upside to this back business).  <br />
<br />
Keith and Rita - very funny.  Will have to remember those excuses for the next board meeting at the theater.  <br />

Cheryl  - Fibromyalgia  sounds awful.  What is it exactly?  Mine is degenerative spondyliothesis (my spine is slowly disintegrating).  Underwent surgery last year and now the surgoen wants to do more to stabilize the vertebra above the surgery site.  Why he didn&#39;t do that while he was in for the other is beyond me.  Must be time to pay for his own cruise.<br />

Nary Lou - I&#39;m originally from Vermont and hve seen as much as I ever want to see again.  Not the snow bunny type and in fact, every time we move, it&#39;s further south and west.  Figure that when we get to Hawaii, we&#39;ll stop.  Our adopted son lives in New York and he keeps asking when we are coming to visit.  Summer, my dear, summer...but now he&#39;s applied for a job just about 30 minutes from here, so I&#39;m hoping...<br />
<br />
Opps, it&#39;s raining now...that&#39;s my exit cue.<br />
<br />
Thanks again for such a warm welcome everyone&#33;<br />
<br />
Cheers&#33;<br />

P.S.  Cheryl - not to worry about &quot;Buffy&quot; - just thought I&#39;d throw it out.
