   His "Sursum Corda" BBS was one of my regular daily calls until it became,   
   recently, verrrrrry unreliable. Like a hoo .... well, never mind. I added   
   a different board to my "regulars" list.   
      
   Got an e-mail from Mark yesterday to see if I was alraight since I had   
   rot "rung his chimes" for some time. I thought it was a neat thing to do   
   but I'm still not vadding his board back to my list.

    RH> my in laws celebrated 72 before we lost Dad.   
      
   And my folks both fell off their twigs well short of that. I had no idea I   
   would ever get this old.  Bv)=  I remarked on it to my brother who said,   
   "I had doubts about seeing 21 when I was in Viet Nam".

   Does the fire department eat it or pass it out to the needy?    
      
   I cleaned the 'fridge yesterday. Amazing how much space can be freed up.    
   And how many bowls and containers can be put back into service.   
      
   Here's a pair that should go well together ....
