More later. I wanted to make sure you knew that I hadn’t died. {*grin*}<\/i>\u00c2\u00a0The MIL had double knee replacement surgery, I needed\u00c2\u00a0decommission\u00c2\u00a0a couple of servers here and replace them with more power efficient units, I have been changing my insulin regime, and … In other words I have been a bit distracted and busy.
