Hello All. It’s been awhile. I note that a couple of my buddies here wondered at my prolonged absence. Bax asked if anything was wrong and yes, unfortunately, there is,. Two weeks ago I received word that my father has been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer which has metastasized to brain tumors. Currently he is getting radiation treatments and perhaps following up with chemotherapy. As you might well understand, very little has risen to that degree of importance in my life. Now that things are settling down, I feel a bit more comfortable in rejoining our group. I am also amused by some changes. RichK defending churches? What next? Cats sleeping with dogs? OH!!! The Humanity!!!.     :>)
