rj and Stephanie:
Manly Man, Ms. Machinery and I are still here and physically OK.
Since my early 20's I have been subject to periodic depressions. It is a body chemistry thing and about 20 years ago I found out how it works.
I am going along all right and then someone drops a Bullard on my head.
I can scramble out from under that scrap iron better than I can handle drugs, so that's what I choose to do. It just takes a while though.
I hope that it doesn't show through my writing. If I kvetch and moan, it is not necessairily because I am feeling depressed. I kvetch and moan regardless.
I do want to apologize for not attending to my e mail communications, however. That is not good.
Jimmy has been a bad boy.
Thank you so much for your kind concern. It has been a pick me up just when I needed it.
Today has been a sveetie-cookie. This morning I learned of the passing of my friend Burce's father. He and I have done business and just recently so.
It doesn't rain but that it pours.
